Importantness for Artists

Cyanrave · April 13th, 2008, 03:46 AM

Well, I was perusing around the other forums I normally visit and someone posted an article that might impact us all. Basically, it strips all artists of originality or unregistered copyright rights when work is created. Private registries will make loads off artists.

Discuss.

Don't blow off making yourself heard. I'm writing to the President about it. This is some serious Shiza.

Brad Holland: If a user can't find a registered work at the Copyright Office, hasn't the Copyright Office facilitated the creation of an orphaned work?

David O. Carson: Copyright owners will have to register their images with private registries.

BH: But what if I exercise my exclusive right of copyright and choose not to register?

DOC: If you want to go ahead and create an orphan work, be my guest!

OMFG what the hell is this bull****?
Do people even think these days or do they just agree with everything they are told.

It's retarded. Basically, everything that's not copyrighted with all the "private registries" is considered orphaned. Does that mean that sites that sell high quality images no longer have rights to them unless registered?

This move is coming in affect due to the NEW INTERNET (Super NET), that will replace the current Internet as we know it, which will called, Internet V2, and will require that you register and pay a month fee (separate from your ISP Service Provider) to even surf the web. This move for the copyright motions comes to no surprise, because with all this coming about, private holders will be the Law Givers of who owns what and who will make supposed fortunes off of your Artworks, and etc.

Yes that will state that the work you see on DA and websites in which you can sell stocks will just be stated as orphan work. Quite funny overall, the actions our government will do to screw over self business, as they will ALWAYS need to find away to get their greedy little republican hands on every profit that excels and bypasses them.

I can't believe that this is even being considered, and I don't understand why. There's no proof being cited in this article, but it's at least worth keeping an eye on.
