FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS' PARTNERSHIP, JULY 15 2008

The Orphan Works Mark-up for this week has been postponed. This gives us more time to email and fax members of the House Judiciary Committee. Write and ask them to support the amendments submitted jointly by the Illustrators' Partnership, the Artists Rights Society and the Advertising Photographers of America.

[link]

These amendments would:

* Insure that the bill will only affect true orphaned work;
* Insure that the bill will not violate international trade agreements;
* Insure that the bill will not take effect until a market impact survey concludes it will not harm existing commercial markets.


Otherwise, ask them not to vote this bill out of committee until Congress can hold proper hearings into the harm it will do to small businesses, individual creators and ordinary citizens.

Our sample letter to House Judiciary Committee members can be deep linked here: [link]

Contact information for House Judiciary Committee members can be accessed here: [link]

Sam my friend,

To be honest, I don't have the energy and time to get into all these paragraphs, of a country so far away. Sorry man. I am sure your quest is good though, and I wish you luck.

:hug:
I hear ya brother; there is a form at this same link for people outside the country to email, too; and it is just a question of signing off on a form letter, but I absolutely understand if you don't have time for this today...

:hug: Sorry pal; this was the latest apple of discord to come down the pike; there's been plenty of misinformation about it on both sides, so people have already yelled at each other about it; but now the bill has an HR number and it's being presented to the congress; if you want a reliable source for info on it, here's [link] Brad Holland's audio interview-- it's about an hour long, but by the end of it, you've got the basic picture...

:eager:
*clears calendar* I'll watch this soon :heart:

Audio only, and I don't blame ya, pal-- maybe some time when you're sketching, play it in the background?
