I posted this press release to several websites, and I thought it couldn’t hurt to post it here as it might drive up traffic:

I didn’t sign up for the ASAI (American Society of Architectural Illustrators) to be spam mailed. However, when I got my first email from them today, I thought something must have been wrong. I checked my email begrudgingly, and went to the link they provided.

Much to my complete and utter amazement, legislators are trying to pass a bill called the ‘Orphan Works Bill’ that will tear down the walls of copyrighted works. For those that don’t understand how copyrights work, basically any form of artwork that you create is automatically copyrighted under law. This protects an artist to a degree from having their work stolen and resold. In a loose sense, it is a ‘lesser’ form of patent - one that doesn’t require tons of paperwork, time, and legal fees.
