Orphan Works Legislation.
Hello Everyone,

I have been getting several email regarding this issue. It is really important that everyone looks at this issue.

-Bob Kato

Subject: Orphan Works legislation
"If the Orphan Works legislation passes, you and I and all creatives will lose virtually all the rights to not only our future work but to everything we've created over the past 34 years, unless we register it with the new, untested and privately run (by the friends and cronies of the U.S. government) registries. Even then, there is no guarantee that someone wishing to steal your personal creations won't successfully call your work an orphan work, and then legally use it for free.

In short, if Congress passes this law, YOU WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR OWN CREATIONS! "

Here are the links I wanted to circulate:

Here is an audio clip of an in-depth discussion on the matter:

And here is an online petition to fight it:
