Orphan Bill: Say goodbye to your art rights

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 11, 2008, 10:55 PM
  • Mood: On Strike
mag.awn. com/index.php?ltype; Pageone&article_no=3605&; page=1

I got the link from Endling's journal. The Orphan bill will make any creative work (photo, drawing, sculpture, anything artistic) unprotected unless registered fully by private copyright bureaus (every last one of them).

This is some serious shit. You have to register every completed piece you have ever created since 1974 with every private copright assosiation in order to protect your creation/work. If you do not, any business or person can take it and use it without paying you royalties and without asking for permission.

Everything.

Remember, each registration for each photo costs money which you may not have or get the time to pay for. And that's a fee for every registry, every time.

Every creative artistic work you may produce can be taken without permission and can be labeled as "orphaned" through this bill and all auto-copyright RIGHTS the people have will be lost.

The fat cats benefit from this and you lose. Not only your creativity but your individuality and livelihood.

Go to the link and read it all, I implore you. Then do what you can with your voice to protect your rights. If they have this, then what's next? Your right to free speach? The right to protect yourself?

"The internet is serious business." And something like this Orphan bill doesn't make that remark sarcastic.

(Remember to remove the spaces of the link.)

If you don't help do something about this, than everything you created is not your own anymore.
