Hey guys!

Do you know that very soon, our artworks may be subject to something called the Orphan Works legislation started by the US, which will make us lose the automatic ownership of our artwork unless we register it? And registration, obviously, takes a whopping amount of fees, too!!!

Read this: [link]

I advise you to read it through, especially if you intend to become a full time artist. It's not fair!!!!

Yes, I know all about it. It's a shame what people will do to just to get money. Have you signed the petition yet?

This is wrong on sooooooooi maaaaaaasany levels! How can something like this even happen? :pissedoff: I want to :ninjabattle: the greedy money hoarders doing this. I know I'm watching dA to see if it will come up with any kind of retaliation and watching the news for it, and I'll be telling my none dA students about it and spreading the word. We only have power in numbers and so I'm worried we won't get enough support.

I asked a wise man what convolution means, but his reply was rather convoluted itself, so I had to look it up...

I've been wrestling with reality all my life, and I'm proud to say, I think I finally won out over it. ^__^x
