What is the Future or Art? Not Owning it...

Life on Mars could be a reflection of life before the journey to Mars. However, what if we no longer own art when we visit Mars. If the Orphan Works legislation is passed artists may no longer own work. Therefore, Rivane Neushwander, me, you, Paul Thek, Phill Collins, and Doug Aitken, along with many others may not have the right to use our own work. Instead major companies will be allowed to use it whenever the please and can even fill to own it themselves and then charge you for you using your own possesion. It is a bad thing and action has to be taken. If the Orphan Works legislation is passed you also will have to register every single picture you took on vacation, all the pictures of your family, and all our child's kindergarden artwork, otherwise business can take it from you, own it, and possibly use it for the Sylvan learning center commercial.
Mark Simon of Animation World Magazine talks about this in his article "Mind Your Business: You will Lose All the Rights to Your Own Art". (http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=Columns&column=MindBiz&article_no=3605)
After reading that aritcle Mark Simon gives you an update in his post "Mind Your Business: Don't Lose the Rights to Your Artistic Creations" (http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=Columns&column=MindBiz&article_no=3631)
I would not want someone lieing and taking credit for artwork I created

Tell your friends, family, and fellow artist. It affects anyone that takes pictures, records videos, or makes art. Don't let this get passed.

Okay, this does sound kind of scary - but Simon's article also sounds a little paranoid. I can see where forcing people to register their art could be a good thing. People use artwork without permission anyway. The internet creates a legal morass as far as copyrights go, and when people can easily post videos on youtube without permission or put a photo of someone else's artwork on their website without getting the rights, you can wind up with a really sticky courtroom situation. It's not always easy to prove ownership. (BTW, I've seen lots of photos of artworks from this "International" on people's blogs, and you're not even supposed to take pictures of those.) It's extreme to say you have to register every sketch or photograph that you take-you only have to worry if you're putting it out in the public realm.

Yah, people use art without permission all the time, but they dont usually make money off it. Sounds like this is about corporate america wanting to co-op the art world and make millions and the artist gets nothing. What bad legislation. Why hasn't the news been covering this?

Is this for real? Why isn't anyone talking about this?
