Senate passes Orphan Works bill (S2913), House expected to follow

Seriously, there is no more time to talk about how bad this is for us. It is time act. I ask you to do the barest minimal thing you can do. go to this website and send a letter to Congress. 

Tell the House Judiciary not to pass the Orphan Works Bill

If this passes, you are looking at a major shift in the wrong direction for you actually making a living in photography. It is pretty funny to think that people don't care about this. Why should they, until mom takes a picture on vacation, uploads it to her flicker account and a few months later it shows on a billboard. Ooh, how cool, her picture is on a billboard and tons of people are making lots of money from her artwork. except for mom.
