Orphan Works
Or, How You May Lose All the Rights to Every Piece of Art You Have Ever Created!
On April 5th, 2008, I interviewed Brad Holland of the Illustrator's Partnership about the Orphan Works bill and how it affects every artist and photographer in the world.
YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS because you are about to lose your copyright protection. Every one of you needs to stand up and be heard in order to protect what we have all created.
Please forward this information to every creative person and group you know. I give permission for this audio file to be copied and transferred and replayed so that everyone may learn about what is going on.

[therealweeklynews]

The most confusing sentence ever posted.

This is wrong I got copyrights that should protect artist but the government is ignoring the little guy and giving money away to others Thomas Jefferson work would have been stolen Disney would not have gotten where he got no wonder our country is messed up . I got copyrights they don't mean anything .

I wrote two book neither one of which I have ever gotten paid for this maybe why I am barred from amazon because of the google lawsuit I click on it and get a blank screen .

Crap

We should first consider that almost all the stuffs we use at home are being run by corporate people. We should think before we act.

[shadowcrawler687]

this does not make sense if this does get released that means no one will have copyrights for the law so people can just make up law and rights.......

[shadowcrawler687]

great look what me and millions of other kids in the world are growing up into

[carapar114]

@silencesoloud12 but the court and all that is on their side and we can't not boycott everything because we need their stuff, unless we all do are part, just a few people boycotting is never going to work

[MrRichiesixx]

Wow... America has lost its balls. They will practically do anything they can to make us pay for everything... why don't we start paying to breath? I mean we are paying for water aren't we? Might as well. We all have to pay the moment we're born.

[GladeSwope]

Even noncommercial material needs protection- for example, this proposal would make the GNU/GPL unenforcible!
