This is really urgent that you sign this petition.

In short, The U.S. Copyright Office issued its report on Orphan Works only a couple of weeks ago. The end of that report contained proposed language for an amendment to the Copyright Act. That proposal is now being fast-tracked in Washington with a good chance of passage before the end of this Session. In my opinion, if that language is enacted in its current form, it will be the worst thing that has happened to independent photographers and other independent visual artists since Work Made for Hire contracts.
In other words, if you draw something that drawing won't be legally yours until you buy a copyright thingy claiming its yours. This petition is to stop this law from passing.
Please sign this petition it effects us all.
