HEY READERS! Sorry for the short absence on my part: finals and graduation of my boyfriend! Anyway, here is some EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NEWS AND WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET!
"Call to Action
Last Thursday the Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed their Orphan Works Act.
It is now headed for the full Senate.
If you’ve written before, now’s the time to write again.
Urge your senator to oppose this bill."
WE'VE GOT TO STOP THIS BILL! EVERYBODY WRITE TO OUR SENATORS! It's super easy. You just enter your zip code and your senators come up and then there's prewritten letter AND a space for you to add your own CONCERNS AND DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!! Please, I'll say it again, if I haven't said it enough. If this bill gets passed, the art world will be fucked. And that affects EVERYONE.
"Because it has been negotiated behind closed doors, introduced on short notice and fast-tracked for imminent passage without open hearings, ask that this bill not be passed until it can be exposed to an open, informed and transparent public debate.
We’ve drafted a special letter for this purpose.

Don't Let Congress Orphan Your Work
Please forward this message to every artist you know."
THIS BILL LEGALIZES STEALING. WE MUST STOP IT.
