I don't know how many artists are on CovenSpace but I figured this was important and I want to apologize before hand for language.
A new bill in congress called the Orphaned Art bill will require every peice of art we do (sketch, painting, photo etc...) to be registered (for a fee) and if you don't do this someone can USE YOUR ART FOR THEIR OWN GAIN and NOT GIVE YOU ANY CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!!! This goes for anyone in the USA or the UK
I this is the biggest peice of bullshit EVER! It is just an excuse for corporations to get money from art they've never seen or helped with. Ficking money grubbing vultures!
*screams*
Anyways, write to congress and tell them that the law should not be passed! Though it doesn't seem to be up for debate (in congress) at the moment, it doesn't mean that it won't be later!
also No dad I don't want to have to pay a fee per art work of everything I have ever done just so someone might not steal it! My dad told me just to register. I wonder if he realizes just how expensive that may be!
