Update: Orphan Works
Attention everyone! That which we thought might happen has happened. All that was seemingly good (at least better) about the new version of the Orphans work bill in Congress right now has been stripped of all protective measures for the copyright holders. As such ASMP has reversed its position and is now, along with APA asking people to write to their representatives to have the bill stopped. To find contact information for your representatives go here. For a sample form letter to send either electronically or conventionally go here. I know that I personally have already taken action and sent both of the senators for Ohio letters urging them to not pass this legislation as it stands. I hope and urge you to do the same. This legislation has no protective measures; no redeeming quality of any kind; and this bill should not be allowed to pass.
