Your art is in big danger of not being your own

We are in some bad times. Read this and sign the petition. in short The government of the USA is trying to pass a law to force you to copy write all your work. This means any art you have on the internet or displayed stories, photos, music, art, sculptures you name it or it becomes public domain art. That’s right folks your art will become free to use for every one. This is a serious problem. I hope to God this does not pass, but please forward this to any one and every one who will listen this needs to not pass.

Hello everyone,

The US government, as well as a few countries in Europe are trying to
pass legislation that requires all artists of any kind (artists,
designers, musicians, writers, filmakers) to register their creations
with private registries for a fee. If creations are not registered, they
become "Orphaned Works" which means basically that they have no
copyright and become public domain- meaning that anyone can sell or
distribute them without the original artist seeing any income
whatsoever.

You can read more about it here;

Below is a link to sign a petition against this act;
[link]

Below is a link with the contact information for the president and all
US senators, representatives, state governors and legislators;
[link]

Please let us all as beings whom express themselves in creating and/or
enjoy others expression put a stop to this.

Forward this to everyone and anyone you know.
:Love Light and Peace:

:blackrose: To ALW: "Look you did not understand, Erik is suppose to look like a corpse. He looks dead, smells dead, hands are like ice, no nose, you know corpse like; probably not something you'd want rubbing all over your ex-wife during The Music of the Night sequence, just would not be sexy now would it? lol ERIK IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE SEXY! He is deformed! That's the reason for the mask. Hello. But we love him any way. Cause he reaches us in a way no one or nothing has ever reached us before. He was suppose to teach us to love one another and to not judge by looks alone. His story is getting lost in all these remakes and sequels. Is it too much to ask some one to make a movie based on the original novel Le Fantôme de L'Opera, by Gaston Leroux? Please help make the legacy live the way it was meant to. Make Erik live on in your art, in your singing, in your writing in anything you do......" Thanks and this has been a message by the save Erik from retards with money campaign. Know thy roots!!!:shakefist:

That's just messed up! How can they expect artists to register (and pay for) all the works they have online for a copyright?

Copyright should be automatically granted to every work at the moment it's created, whether you make it official by registering it or not.

This pisses me off...
What a load of crap! Thanks for letting us all know!

You love him! Your fear, your terror,all of that is just love and love of the most exquisite kind, the kind which people do not admit even to themselves," said Raoul
No, Christine! GO BACK TO ERIK! :crash:
That's SO not true. All work is automaticaly copyrighted upon creation. Registering it is sort of like insureance for your works.
It only becomes public domain when the copyright expires (authors lifetime + 70 years) or is "donated" to public domain.

(my spelling...horrible. XD)
It is automatically granted.
