Take Action: Don't Let Congress Orphan Our Work

There is an an online site for visual artists to e-mail their Senators and Representatives with one click. 2 minutes is all it takes to write Congress and protect your copyright:

Go to John Harrington's Biz Blog for a ton of info:

GO HERE as well.

This Bill is just bad for photographers and if passed WILL take money out of my pocket. It will basically say that as a photographer I will not be able to control the use of images I take.

More info HERE.

Read the Bills:
S. 2913, the Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act of 2008
H.R. 5889: The Orphan Works Act of 2008

Please write Congress if you oppose these bills.
