jhocking:
As long as we're talking about outrageous legislation affecting artists, check out this:

(long audio interview, but worth a listen. in particular, he doesn't get into practicalities of what to do about it until the end)

Now the extensions to copyright over the years have been a little over the top, but to completely reverse the entire situation overnight is just crazy talk.

AMERICA FUCK YEAH

ruyi:
Here's another link on that. Pretty ridiculous stuff.


--- Quote ---If the Orphan Works legislation passes, you and I and all creatives will lose virtually all the rights to not only our future work but to everything we've created over the past 34 years, unless we register it with the new, untested and privately run (by the friends and cronies of the U.S. government) registries. Even then, there is no guarantee that someone wishing to steal your personal creations won't successfully call your work an orphan work, and then legally use it for free.
--- End quote ---

Slick:
Man, real talk in a real thread that I missed out on!
The only thing I have to say that Johnny didn't get was that I do not think it is a bad thing for tax dollars to go to Canadian cultural works, but still, I would resent someone deciding what should and shouldn't be done with this credit based on their opinions of objectionable while what I consider bad films can get it.

Also, I like how you pointed out liking Moxy Früvous as a Canadian group you like, instead of, say, Broken Social Scene.

ruyi:
Actually, I'm going to go back on what I (and presumably Joe) just said.

Countering the FUD about the "Orphan Works" copyright bill (that doesn't exist)
