We were the first major arts organization to take this stand, and we took some heat for it, but I believe we also moved the needle on our community’s understanding of these complicated issues. **Today I’m happy to report that a number of our colleagues at major national arts service organizations have joined the cause.** This morning a second letter was sent to Senate leadership, co-signed by [The Association of Performing Arts Presenters](http://www.artspresenters.org), [Chorus America](http://www.chorusamerica.org), [Dance/USA](http://www.danceusa.org), [Fractured Atlas](http://www.fracturedatlas.org), [National Alliance for Media Art and Culture](http://www.namac.org), [National Alliance for Musical Theatre](http://www.namt.org), [National Performance Network](http://www.npnweb.org), [OPERA America](http://www.operaamerica.org), and [Theatre Communications Group](http://www.tcg.org). This formidable coalition represents tens of thousands of American artists and arts organizations. We’ve come together on this issue to say *not in our name.* We believe in copyright. We oppose piracy of intellectual property. But SOPA and PIPA are the wrong way to address this problem.
