Click here to understand what I'm talking about"This bill would limit the amount of damages a copyright holder could collect from an infringer if the infringer performed a diligent search for the copyright holder before using their work. The goal of the legislation is to free up for reuse copyrighted works whose holders cannot be found. It would also set up a process for the Copyright Office to certify commercially-produced visual registries to help people locate the holder of a copyright and prevent the orphaning of works in the future."
Bill - Orphan Works Act of 2008 What this bill is going to do, is require all artwork that you make to be registered with a copyright, which costs money. This means that any work that isnt, will and can be used by any person and company and even taken over. I think this is primarily aimed for the commercial sector to limit loss in damages.
I oppose this. I dont even know why it sailed through the house's intellectural IP (intellectual property) subcommitte.
For artists in the U.S:
Contact your Congressman to oppose this:
[link]For artists outside the U.S:
[link]If you advocate this bill, you speak on behalf of free use and art theft. In this case do not argue against this journal. I dont like politics (although it is the "pain" necessary to know), but if you argue against this, I will assume that you have a hidden agenda aimed against artists. I cannot see it any other way.
