Orphan Works Bill...
Ahhh I know, no artwork--- so sorry!,
but the gov' is acting up again!
Please review The Oprphan works Bill... they are pushing real hard and quick to move it through.. If you are too busy to write a letter - below is a link to sign a petition if you are so inclined....
FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS' PARTNERSHIP
A Million People Against the Orphan WorksBill http://www.petitiononline.com/Stop2913/petition.html
The petition is now the 7th most active on
http://www.petitiononline.com/
Remember: you don't have to be an artist, photographer or performer to be threatened by this bill. Anything you've ever posted on the internet would be exposed to commercial infringement unless you've registered it with a couple of large corporate databases. These databases would then control access to your intellectual property.That threatens the passive copyright protection all citizens now take for granted. And that threatens our personal property, freedom of speech and the right to privacy embodied in copyright law.
