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.

can i ask, i live in britain, would this personaly effect me? , just cause it is being decided in america, but online its not always easy to tell where things come from on the internet, and i personaly never heard about this before (which is bad cause i prefer to be in the know, but also makes me think mabye thats cause it doesnt have anything to do with england so the media never talk about it)
Not even finished paying my school bill, I had to leave at the begining of the 3 part of my school yr so not having finished my portfolio in art school ,no job . no art work ,no art work to worry about.
Sorry to all in the Illustration field and fine Arts.
that *****! I think that we the people need to be balled out, not the banks ! or the stock market.
If we have to pay a protection fee, what comes to mind,daa the mafia. “corporate mafia: you know the CSS school government monthly payment that I’ve been paying for the last 10 yr’s that I dish out every month. Keeping it simple. If i pay $100.00
a month ,only 10 percent of that $100.. go’s to my bill .rest go’s to CSS
Aweful… and Google is evil!
Marx was an intellectual with no feelings, which explains why he had no concepts for “personality” and “individual freedom.”
As a teacher once said (notice I give him credit), communism would work if humans had the nature of cows.
“Comnunizing” the cultural sphere while the economic and political spheres still function under the laws of capitalism flings open the gates for the jackals to rush in and gorge themselves.
My question to the law students is, if you believe that by some “Natural Law” the masses own art, then why aren’t “the masses” making it financially possible to produce “their” art? Starving the individuals who do the work merely cripples the hands, minds and hearts that provide the intellectual and soul enrichment. Everyone is depleted, nobody benefits.
Also, couldn’t you have had the sense to guess how corporations would spin this?
That is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard!!!
When is the government going to focus on things that will help this nation and stop screwing with our lives?!
What a bunch of selfish ******! >:(

Hey have you people read the ’small letters’ in Facebook’s TOS? Everything uploaded there belongs to Facebook, including personal photos and especially artistic ones. That’s why I don’t upload drawings there, but it seems that policy is spreading….:/
That’s because nobody in the Senate has any artistic interest
I believe how sh*t this is…any excuse to f**k peole over…
It take the value away from EVERYTHING…
wow, just like communism. everyone gets to own my art.
