Night's Omen

Oh my gosh. That is sick and wrong on SO many levels that I can't even begin to mention them all.

So basically, the Orphan Works bill, if passed, would strip the rights from artists of every kind, authors, etc.

More or less, all of the copyrights on all of the work that we do or have done for the past THIRTY-FOUR YEARS will be VOID.

Read this and this and you'll see what I mean. Here is an online petition to stop this stupid bill ever being passed.

Right, I'm mad. I want to be an artist for a living, and this would make that impossible, probably quite literally, when you take into account the reduction of income as well as the money you'd have to spend in a (probably vain) attempt to protect yourself. Sick. Seriously. Sicksicksick.

I SIGNED that bitch. The whole concept is bloody ridiculous! And yes, good word, "sick". Also an aspiring artist here, I am NOT just gonna sit by and let this crap happen! Must spread word...garghlhrglhg...

Signed.

Not trying to be a dick, but generally online petitions hold very little wait because its hard to verify whether or not its authentic...but that bill is sketchy, the goverment cracks down on protecting the rights of musicians (DMCA bullshit) yet they screw traditional artists? WTF?

On a happier note, I see the guilds now have a trauma surgeon, I have a feeling he's gonna be busy soon

I know that they don't, which is why being proactive and emailing congress or something might also be a good idea.

Gah, I still can't believe that anything like this has ever or will ever be considered.

I'm printing out the article and I'm gonna go take it to the art building.

I have a feeling he's gonna be busy soon, too.  Sounds good to me.

I've also signed the petition.
Is it not ridiculous?!
I play and compose for piano. This sorely irks me.

God, the weather is beautiful today.  I bet it's gorgeous down by you guys in the south.  Hey, Estelore, how's Chicago's weather today?  It sunny? 

Its disgustingly humid in Louisiana right now, and last I looked we were under a thunderstorm warning of some kind

Not much on humidity Florida side. LA always gets the ass end where that is concerned.. but I know we won't be far behind.

Ew, Chitown? I bet it gets NASTY there in the summer. There are a ton of Supra people there, I actually drunk dialed one when I was stuck in Tampa for that layover on my way to LAX. A 6 HOUR LAYOVER. Boy were WE hammered when we finally got on the plane, LOL

WTF is this HISSSSSS shit? I didn't do that and not remember did I lol?

TWAS ME BITCHES!
