If you are a professional or aspiring professional artist or illustrator you most likely already know about the Orphan Works Act. As of a few months ago it seemed that the Act was going to be re-written in a way that is fair to artists and their copyrights. Sadly that has not happened and there is a large push to finalize it and make it law, as is.

Your rights are in danger. If you do not know what the Orpah Works Act is yet. Drop what you are doing and google it now. If you are an illustrator visit the illustrator partnership website. Phtographers, hit your PPA, APA, ASMP, or EP site and do some research.

It's going down tomorrow at 2pm - this is most likely your LAST CHANCE to make your voice heard before it becomes law.

This site is set up by the illustrator's partnership to help you send a pre-composed letter to your representatives. The form letter is editable. Please read what you are sending.

Take some time to help protect the future of creative arts in America.

Thanks,
Tsuka.
