Dear Mr Young,

Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act. I appreciate your taking the time to share your concerns.

On October 26, 2011, Representative Lamar Smith introduced H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act, which has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. Companion legislation in the Senate, S. 968, the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011 (PROTECT-IP) was introduced by Senator Patrick Leahy and currently awaits consideration by the full Senate. Both of these bills would expand the federal government's authority to track and prosecute websites unlawfully using intellectual property.

I will support legislation that maintains the purity of the internet's free market character, its free flow of commerce, services and communication, while minimizing the threat of theft of intellectual and real property to American companies. I will keep your thoughts in mind should H.R. 3261, S. 968 or similar legislation come to the House floor for a vote.     

Sincerely,  

Ann Marie Buerkle
