Dear Ms. Nelson,
I saw you on C-Span (8-20-12) and I tried to call in to speak with you but to no avail. I say you did quite a marvelous job. I am a Black screenwriter who had 2 screenplays that were used separately in violation of Copyright Laws; one case was settled “out of court”. The latest case involving the movie “Dreamgirls” received absolutely no justice in federal court. The main media sources would not mention my case to the public. There are people receiving credit and wealth from my work, which is not acceptable. I want to know if I could receive a different response from you. I also studied law myself. I look forward to hearing directly from you. And thank you for your time.
