Dear Mike Doughty,

I just started reading The Book of Drugs last night - I even purchased it legally through iTunes. I only got a few pages in last night, but I can already tell it’s going to be my new favorite book. There is something honest and genuine about the way you write. They aren’t just words on a page, they actually mean something.

Reading The Book of Drugs last night gave your words about SOPA more impact. Clumsy is a perfect word. I’ve been consistently focused on the negative aspects of SOPA and PIPA that I got lost in that message - a negative message. I appreciate your honesty about piracy and even more so about helping young artists. It’s refreshing to see a musician getting involved not just to put another dollar in their pocket, but to actually support the industry.

I hope something better than SOPA can be created, something that positively changes the system.
