CALL TO ARMS!
The battle-cry has been heard. We have the ability to exact change and get Activisions attention! We have our online petition, which is now 1,300 signatures strong and still growing! We have our offline petition which is now 30 letters strong and still growing! We have a Facebook Group that is over 350 members strong and still growing!
We can still do more!
We need to hammer Activision... make TSL the topic of discussion at their office. We need to make them see that we are not just going to lay down and surrender just because they are Big and Powerful!
CALL TO ARMS!
It's time to make Activision feel some of the heat we can bring down on them. We can do that by emailing them the following email letter:

www.tsl-game.com, I just read about Activision having issued a cease-and-desist order to the creators of an eight year old fan project, the adventure game "King's Quest: The Silver Lining". I am emailing you because this is something you should be greatly rethink.
I wholly support your right to copy protection and would understand you not wanting to allow fan-made games of some of the more popular games you're currently producing; Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, even less recent works such as Lost Kingdoms. However, King's Quest hasn't been in the works in over 11 years.
The makers of TSL have been working very hard for a decade to bring fans something they can enjoy. It's in your best interest to allow such an undertaking to continue on multiple fronts.
1.) Allowing the release of such a well-made and serious King's Quest game for free, no cost to you, would allow life to be breathed back into the series. So, if you ever decided to make another, more official, game in the series, King's Quest IX, it would be far more likely to gain popularity.
2.) TSL has gained massive support over the years and, even people such as myself, whom have great respect for Activision and all related games, would lose respect knowing that you would crush a decade of hard work and ever growing hopes of fans
The world is about love and creativity, and that is what the Silver Lining project brings. Before issuing a cease-and-desist order against an eight-year fan project, you should try to understand the love and creativity people put into The Silver Lining. In the end, allowing a game like this to be made would not be detrimental to your company, it would make your fans as well as the TSL's fans happy and would gain your company respect.
Activision, the world is begging you! Retract the cease-and-desist order and show the world that Activision stands behind the morals and ideals it was originally founded on.
