Orphan Works Update - WRITE NOW

Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 2:39 PM
  • Mood: Anxious
  • Reading: Red River
  • Playing: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
  • Drinking: Diet Coke
The Graphic Artist Guild is taking a neutral position on this for the time being until the language is finalized, but the Illustrators Partnership of America is taking action.

=grumpygoat summed things up pretty well on her DA journal, so I'm just going to paste it here for all of you.

-----------

You want to write Congress? Now's the time...

Hey guys.

After the whole alarmist blowup of the Orphan Works bill of 2006, I've been keeping my ear to the ground about the real bill: Shawn Bentley's Orphan Works Bill of 2008.

A lot of folks have been prepped and ready to contact Congress but I got the GO GO GO email this morning.

Please, for the love of all that is holy and good, DO NOT post alarmist statements about the Bill. It is not helping the cause.

First off, what does the Bill look like? Maradydd over at Livejournal is posting a play by play of the Bill. While it does a lot of good, I do feel there may be the potential for loopholes. Please read it carefully, and draw your own conclusions:

Here is where to sign: [link]

Sign it if you agree with it, as it will be going through the Senate Judiciary Comittee today.

-----------

It takes 5 minutes, guys. Please take action.

EDIT:

For those of you who are not visual artists but support visual arts, here's the link for the supporters of visual artists letter: [link]

Hi, I remember you from the AML back in the days! Your Aladdin fanart inspired me greatly to keep to get my drawing skills to the next level. Been about 8 years since, but just wanted to let you know and thank you :)

You've got an amazing gallery and such a distinctive and well-developed style. I'm putting you on my friends list, it'd be a shame to miss your future works. Take care!

No problem. I've been a huge fan of your work ever since the beginning of 'Lucky Ones' fanart.
You are very talented.

Commissions mean that you pay me to make an image for you. All of the artwork that you can see in my "Commissions" folder in my gallery were done for clients who hired me.

Oh... well... I don't really have an opinion on that. It sounds pretty much like the Square-Enix contest but with a better prize.

While you are highly complimentary to me about your chances of winning if I enter, I'm not going to be entering this. Thank you, though. ;)

Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present. Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we have made. But it is too late to change anything.

Hey, umm I was just wondering what your opinion on the new okami contest was. ^__^

it's true. After witnessing lots of money hungry old ppl, I Had a big feeling that the ship is gonna sink. that's why I wanna be taught computer animation before it catches fire and burns us all alive screaming into the murky sea of the business world lol. My wife gets private help from teachers outside of class when they can.

THREE? Good God. I don't even know what to say to that. Ringling is getting far too greedy for its own good... there's no way all of these freshmen will be able to get the attention they need in their classes in order for them to succeed.

Well we made sure we were the exception. But still, that sucks so bad for everyone else. In the dorms they are now planning 3 to a room.
So the stress level of all the freshies out there will have it hard time with the teachers.

*KrisCynical:iconKrisCynical: Apr 11, 2008, 9:12:14 PM
Yes, sometimes Ringling needs a kick in the head when they make stupid screw ups like that, especially when it comes to housing. I hear that they're going to be accepting even MORE freshmen than normal next year, to the point where they're going to be ousting upperclassmen from the Bayou Village. Pretty soon the entire campus is going to be inhabited by freshmen with all other years living off campus. e__e

Needless to say I'm glad I graduated when I did. XP
