Self Value

Ok, so, after having a couple people turn the logic card on me today about this whole thing, I'm making ammends...

Am I still a concerned party where this bill is concerned? Yes.  But I'll cut out the drama for now.  If you want to learn more about it here's a good summary for us not-so-legal types realitysquared.deviantart.com/…

There is also a link in that article for the bill itself, if you are so inclined.

I'm sorry for going off on it, though I still think the petition is a good idea.

Will I start putting (C) on my work from now on?  Most likely.  Because then, even if some other person crops it out because they're mean and stupid, there will be a copy online if anyone makes a search for it, so none of my stuff can be called orphaned

If you place any value in yourself as a person; artist, photographer, designer or just a doodle hobbiest, go and sign this petition to congress against the legalization of internet art theft!

Petition Against Art Theft!

Unless, of course, you're a big fan of ENORMOUS watermarks that cover the entire image you're looking at.  We can always do that as well.

As a children of the internet generation we've enjoyed a freedom enabling us to express ourselves beyond our immediate circle of friends, family and neighbors and this suggested law will severly limit that ability!  Who would want to post anything on the internet if it would be legal for someone else to take it and claim it as their own?!  It's what DA members fight so hard against!  It just ticks me right off.
