new bill

New bill in US will change copyright, and not for the better.

By circus13 - Posted on April 28th, 2008

A friend of mine, and comic artist (the guy who did the great pictures of a lot of Circus-13 characters) just pointed me to this article about possible new copyright laws here in the US called The Orphan Bill.

Essentially what it boils down to is copyrights would no longer be handled by the government but by corporations. Anyone see the problem with this yet? It gets better.
