Many of you have probably already seen this, but this was news to me tonight while browsing the wide world of dA . . . Legalized Theft of YOUR artwork may soon be possible!! That's right, One more right that all of us hold dear to our hearts that the US Government is PISSING on! I am not going to say a whole lot about it because then this journal would be an endless string of profanity and chaos and I would prefer to not head in such a childish direction. Instead I am going to post the article below for you to read, and a link to the Petition to STOP this piece of [----------------------This section Redacted for reasons of civility----------------------] from even REACHING the congress.

Cheers

You can find the link to most of my commission prices below.
Slots are almost full but if you would like one and there is not a slot open then I will place you in the Queue. Just send me a note or visit the site that is linked below.

Please include EXACTLY what you would like the image to contain down to the last detail. The more I know about your character the better I can match the ideas that you have floating around in your head and the quicker I can get to work on it. Include personality, and if requesting a colored image eye and hair color, skin tones, etc. Also please include any reference images that may be helpful. If you don’t inform me of everything you would like done, I will take artistic license and run with it.

:pointr:At this point I will quote you. It will usually be around the price of the chart shown below, give or take a few dollars.

:pointr:I will do a sketch of your character, send a watermarked image to you for approval and make changes as requested.

:pointr:Once approved I will continue with the commission, sending you progress reports along the way.

:pointr:I will not send you the finished product until I receive payment. This is why I prefer paypal, to speed up this process for you.

What I do not do: Hentai | Ecchi | Fan Art | Digital color (I am not yet comfortable with it)

What I love to do: Character Sheets | Original Designs | Romance

I'd heard about it before. A similar law was proposed a while back, and it was shot down without any trouble.

My personal thoughts are that this is a bit alarmist, and that there is no way that the orphan works act will actually pass.
Perhaps, but at the same time if people are not informed and no one is there to fight it then I am sure, with the way this government is set up, it is a possibility that it could be passed. If everyone just shrugged and said "oh it'll never pass" as if they were indifferent or it were a given then many would also be surprised when, in fact, it is passed. Thank you for your thoughts, though.

Eh, I see what you're saying, but the reality is, that no one would want to actually do upkeep on a registry like that. Who would run it, how would it be paid for? There are countless pieces of film as well as paintings and drawings, to the point that it would be simply ridiculous to keep track of them all. People are lazy, and unless it was something that actually provided a service to our future- such as the ongoing project of creating a DNA library, for future cloning purposes; people have better things to spend their time on.

Also, at least with the current administration, they want as much money going into the war as possible- they wouldn't consider creating an art registry even a blip on the radar worth channeling money into.

If you can provide me with information that actually has a plan regarding how this would be financed, and show actual "support" from either political party on this, then I'll take this more seriously.
