Dear Ruben,



Thank you for writing to me regarding S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act of
2011.  I understand your concerns.



I am a cosponsor of this legislation because I believe that we must
protect American intellectual property against foreign websites that
infringe upon our rights.  By empowering the Attorney General of the
United States to go after foreign infringing websites, this legislation
becomes a necessary tool to ensure that U.S. companies remain
competitive in the world marketplace.  I recognize that there are
technical concerns with the enforcement of this bill that need to be
addressed.  I am committed to working with my colleagues in the United
States Senate to ensure that this legislation protects the
Constitutional rights of Americans and does not stifle lawful free
speech or innovation on the internet.



Thank you again for writing to express your concerns, and I hope that
you keep in touch with my office regarding future legislation. For more
information on this and other important issues, please visit my website
at http://gillibrand.senate.gov
