I can't friggin believe this whole Orphan Works crap.
I mean, seriously!
They're going to make it so possibly the original artist has to pay for their own work?
That's bullshit!
We, as artists, should not have to worry about our hard work being put out there for profit!
And then the government is going to legalize it?
What the crap!
I'm not even that great or popular of an artist, but I don't want my work stolen!
I mean, it's not even enough to make it so you can't "right-click" on a page.
There are other ways to get the pictures.
The only for sure way to protect us is to stop the people stealing.
They can't just give out a copyright to anyone who makes art, because, it would be the same problem as with the Orphan Works Bill.
I just...ugh, those stupid retards.
They better not pass this thing, otherwise there's going to be an extreme uproar.
I mean, to even think of it in the first place is just plain stupid!
I, personally, would not want something that I worked on and waited for for hours to get published on some clothing, or in a magazine, and others get paid for it.
That's just not right.
I mean, if the people would just ASK the original artist, and then give credit and profit to the artist, then that, to me, would be cool.
But, no.
People who take our work are to fucking lazy and self centered to do that in the first place.
They want their work done by someone else, so they can get the credit for it.
And if it goes the wrong way, the whole shit-in-a-bag will be LEGAL.
This better not go through.
