The article was written by two folks. One, John Markoff, is a friend of mine and I talked with him about the article. He indicated his own desire had been to cover the innovation end, but the co-author (Manly), who was the one who finished up the story, wanted to write more about the filesharing aspects of it. So if even John couldn't get the story to come out as he wanted, I don't hold a lot of hope for a letter. The letter is decent, and to the point (usually only one point ever gets through in a letter to the editor) but I've not known newspaper editors for being too sympathetic to complaints about being associated with bad things by being in the same story. But it doesn't hurt to try.
