Please read this following article and help sign the petition to stop the Orphan Works law. The law basically gives others rights to use your creative artworks without credit or compensation to you, the creator. If a work is not officially registered, anyone can claim it as there own and do whatever they want with it.The government is trying to force us to register every sketch, painting, photo, writing, so they can make money off of us. Do you know how many millions of creative individuals are out there??? Each of us has more than just a few pieces of artwork. Imagine if we had to register each piece for $5.00 or something like that...the government is gonna make billions off of us! That is ridiculous because everyone knows, artists are the most poor people around. It's a career that we struggle and struggle in. We do it because of love for art, how dare the government take away our right to express ourselves.Article link http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=Columns&article_no=3605&page=1petition link http://www.petitiononline.com/Stop2913/petition.html
