I just sent my letter to Intel saying "thank you" for standing up to the SSSCA last week.

These letters can be sent Leslie Vadasz c/o tom.marchok@intel.com .

Here's what I sent:

Dear Mr. Vadasz,

I am a journalist and magazine editor who has been watching the SSSCA proceedings very closely over the past few months. (I also own 3 PCs and 2 laptop PCs, and plan to be buying a lot of new hardware over the next 6 months, for what it's worth).

I wanted to thank you personally for being the only tech company with enough integrity to speak out on behalf of both the average consumer and your technology partners around the world.

Thank you for fighting the entertainment industry's attempts to undermine our fair use rights and harm our economy by hobbling your industry with burdensome, nonsensical regulations that protect their bottom line at the expense of your own.

Please keep up the good work -- don't let Hollywood take away your right to innovate and my right to use my equipment as I see fit.

Sincerely,

Lisa Rein
