Don't Worry about Orphaned Works

Sat Apr 12, 2008, 4:59 PM
I've sen many journal posts by artists today about this orphaned works mini-panic by artists.
(Ahhh! we're going to lose all our rights! OH NOES!! etc) The first place I went after reading about it was boingboing.net .They're very on the ball about any threats to copyright protection.

They are directing everyone to this article, which explains clearly how there is currently no such legislation, and how the guy generally doesn't know what he's talking about:

Thank you so much for that link. Hopefully now I can prove to a few friends that they don't have to worry.

Excellent. Still, information is our best defense whenever something like this comes up.

I have a question; If Simon didn't have a clue what he was talking about in the first place then why post the stupid thing at all? I'm pretty sure he knew from the start that this wasn't going to work but posted it anyway, why waste you're time typing this and updating and putting all of dA in a panic if it wasn't going to work and someone with commen sense is going to figure it out and tell EVERYBODY and then it'll all be okay; if he didn't know then why post it still?

The local weather service has issued a nice day warning, all pale people should take shelter Immediately.

Thank the Gods. I thought that sounded like slag to begin with.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Don’t worry, we’ll make them regret undooming themselves.

Whoo!

Being optimistically apathetic wins again! Back to thinking about other things! XD

"Warriors of fate, you shall dance bravely,
Use your golden wings, and fly to the skies!
Heroes of steel, they do not have the word "retreat" in their minds.
Continue to command with your raging, burning souls!
To eternity! To eternity!"

What G1 character should be on a Lil formers T-shirt?
