In the Whitehouse.gov petition drive named VETO the SOPA bill and any ...rmation started a month ago, the coordinating team sent out a follow-up message last week: Combating Online Piracy while Protecting an Open and Innovative Internet.

In it, they summarize developments while reiterating the importance of the issue, stating a.o. 'So, rather than just look at how legislation can be stopped, ask yourself: Where do we go from here? Don’t limit your opinion to what’s the wrong thing to do, ask yourself what’s right.'

Obviously, the intention is to gather ideas to work into potential regulation, but this phrasing may be as good an opening as any to make the point tacit brought up. Clearly, fallacies entertained by part of the public at large are part and parcel of the piracy problem, and I don't think it would hurt to belabor that point when there is an opportunity to do so.
