Commission Me so I can go to AX [link]


EDIT - I've looked further into this bill they're planning on passing, and my concern is ebbing just a -tad-, as it seems less severe than I was getting the opinion of, but I'm also seeing it as being less and less likely to pass. /Edit

Mark Simon. Thank you for bringing this up to the world, but thank all of DeviantArts artists, for a part, for bringing up this Bullshit. [link]

ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNMENT, THEY WANT TO PASS A BILL CALLED THE ORPHAN WORKS ACT THAT WILL MAKE OUR WORK NOT OURS ANYMORE.

Do. Not. Want.

I don't want to have to register -ALL- of my art into an UNSECURE database that doesn't have 100% guaranteed results, less someone else does and I get sued for my own work.

I don't want to have to spend the EXTRA EXPENSE on something that I've chosen to turn into my livelihood, less someone else uses it for FREE.

And I -definitely- am not putting up with this bullshit as an artist! If this bill passes, I lose my right to make money from MY OWN WORK without going through untested government BULLSHIT.

I. DO. NOT. APPROVE.

Please, CONTACT YOUR STATE REP. PLEASE.

I did it today! Mr. Matheson! You earned my rant on this!

I care enough about this, in order to say that IT IS NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S RIGHT TO COMPROMISE MY FUTURE CAREER AND THE CURRENT CAREERS OF MANY.

The end.
