ANY ARTIST THAT wants copyright law to exist in the future needs to look into this. The government is looking to pass this bill that will take away our rights to any work that we have done, EVER. The purpose of the bill is supposed to open up art works that the originator has died and help museums without having to worry about getting sued by an artist. In REALITY, if a piece of work isn't registered (the artist must pay to register it) anyone can use it without paying the artist. The Illustrator's Partnership is opposing this bill, if you want to look into their actions against the Orphan Works Bill, go here: www.illustratorspartnership.or…

To oppose this bill, send them an e-mail at illustratorspartnership@cnymail.com and ask to be put on their list of people who oppose this bill.

To listen to an mp3 of an interview about this bill, go here: www.sellyourtvconceptnow.com/o…

The dude who started this is Peter Jaszi and you can find his side of the story here: www.ala.org/ala/pressreleases2…


I'm usually pretty passive about stuff like this. but we need to take a stand NOW.

Thanks for all that info, I'll see if I can pass the message on my classmates at the art institute, I think my professors know about it too so I'll ask their opinion.

I've already send an e-mail to add me to the list, Oora!
