Orphan Works legislation


Animation World Magazine

These
registries are companies that you would be forced to pay in order to
register every single image, photo, sketch or creative work.

It is currently against international law to coerce people to
register their work for copyright because there are so many inherent
problems with it. But because big business can push through laws in the
United States, our country is about to break with the rest of the
world, again, and take your rights away.

With the tens of millions of photos and pieces of artwork
created each year, the bounty for forcing everyone to pay a
registration fee would be enormous. We lose our rights and our
creations, and someone else makes money at our expense.

This includes every sketch, painting, photo, sculpture,
drawing, video, song and every other type of creative endeavor. All of
it is at risk!
