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.

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.
