If there are so many unidentified artworks, there should be a major effort to identify the artists instead.

No. I don't thinks so. I want my ideas to be mine and only mine.

]]> Tue, 6 Jan 2009 02:20:43 UTC 4734671 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4609121?utm_medium=rss The wording of this petition is horrible, but the idea is right. The orphan works bill is simply a license to steal.

Our artwork sould in no way be used for monetary gain without exclusive permission by the author, or if the author was commisioned for such a work.

]]> Thu, 2 Oct 2008 09:36:47 UTC 4254867 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4248985?utm_medium=rss This is outrageous. Artists work hard on their ideas and are kind enogh to share it with the world, so as a reward any company can just steal it away as their own. Not only does that make no sense but thats just plain cruel and stupid!

I created it, it's mine. No one has the right to take that away from me.

]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:41:13 UTC 4232267 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/4229959?utm_medium=rss This cherry-picking the ideas of the common artist is unconscionable and wrong on every level. This will not stand!

Some companies may want to use our work that we make so they may have things easier, but this also threatens our jobs and our opportunities further. A photograph or any kind of artwork should keep it's copyright from the moment it is made. This is not someone else's property.

]]> Wed, 6 Aug 2008 04:54:53 UTC 3961875 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3715702?utm_medium=rss Seriously? Would it be fair for someone to take your job, just because they didn't have the means to find you?

Would it be theft if someone walks into your office and take your computer because you "didn't lock your door"? Suppose said person then pays you $10 as compensation instead of giving your computer back after you confront him. Who dreamt up this bill?

]]> Thu, 8 May 2008 01:13:24 UTC 3583054 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3576891?utm_medium=rss This is affecting artists all over the world. Copyright has always been with the creator and that's where it should stay, anything less is theft.

I'm a musician, my sister is a musician, and our mother is an artist and we all find this law to be a violation our rights as artist. Thanks for everyone for helping hopefully get this law vitto'ed

]]> Sat, 3 May 2008 02:38:28 UTC 3564592 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3564117?utm_medium=rss This legislation does not protect my rights only the rights of those who choose to use my images without my consent.

]]> Sat, 3 May 2008 10:45:09 UTC 3564117 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3564106?utm_medium=rss If this bill passes, I will not be able to post any of my work online without fear that it will be stolen, stripped, and sold as orphaned. It literally takes food from my table and puts it in the hands of people willing to take advantage of terrible legislation.
