This would be a disaster, like totally wow. What of cartoonists (for example) that have thousands upon thousands of pieces?
Eesh!

It sounds like what they are doing is allowing works to be copied *if* the works are considered "orphaned works" meaning no original author can be contacted or located. A new copyright registry would be a way to for sure prevent your authorship from being lost. The neckbeards are telling everyone that if you don't register, you'll automatically have no rights to the art you make, as an artist, but this isn't true.
Or what?
Sorry i am confused about this
