I wish I had been able to get notice out about this sooner. But this has just come to my attention. There has been a bill proposed for some time now I have been monitoring. I thought we had it beat already, but apparently not. It is not good for us Photographers. I just learned this morning that is is going for vote today.
The orphan works legislation has been referred to as the end of
copyright. Educate yourself on what is going on and react to this
corporate theft!
THIS IS IMPORTANT!
The Orphan Works bill is being introduced in Congress tomorrow and if
passed could destroy the residual income of all creative artists. A
very easy simple primer is a link at YouTube that is 7.5 mins long.

Then read the position papers, the bills (they are not that long)
themselves, and decide for yourself what is in your best interest.
