Since I own (and really like) Petzl equipment, I was dismayed to see your company on a list of supporters of an irresponsible lobbyist-written bill like SOPA. I'm very glad to hear that you don't actually support SOPA, and that I can continue buying your gear without reservation! I know that you were not alone in having your views misrepresented, and I hope you and the other companies involved hold the U.S. Chamber of Commerce accountable.
Clearly when it comes to gear your life depends on counterfeiting is a vastly more serious issue than for other sorts of products. I trust you will continue working to combat it in a way that helps ensure the safety of your customers without compromising their fundamental rights or causing collateral damage in the way SOPA would have.
Glad to hear it!
