Hey, America (specifically, ARTISTS of America), remember that ridiculous writer's strike not too long ago? Well, apparently WE now have our OWN can of B-S to deal with!!!

[link] <--IF YOU REALLY GIVE A SHIT AS AN ARTIST, YOU WILL READ THIS!!!

Guess what, fellow artists, boys and girls? Our very future--the career we're paving with our art--is at GREAT STAKE. I kid you NOT, as the government may very well make a law that actually allows people to legally steal YOUR WORK. They will MAKE MONEY off of YOUR WORK without YOUR CONSENT--meaning YOU (and myself) will get SHIT. Anything you sketch, design, animate--anything you so much as SCRIBBLE will be FAIR GAME.

Unfortunately, I am NOT shitting you. We MUST do SOMETHING. Please, please, PLEASE read. This. ARTICLE.

GAH--WHY ARE PEOPLE SO MANIPULATIVE AND STUPID?!

Alright, folks. One of the best things to do right now, believe it or not, is to WRITE to your congress! Let them know HOW you feel--but DO NOT go about it incorrectly. I have found a few guidelines on how to properly write a letter to a legislator/congress-person. PLEASE read them CAREFULLY. If you want to be taken SERIOUSLY, you must write SERIOUSLY.

For the sake of ALL artists, this MUST be done! We must act NOW!

No, they're trying to take in more money for themselves--this just shows their desperation.

Uhm.... little suggestion here. I wouldn't go getting all worked up over this and act harshly. It seems to me the hype of this is more prominent than the threat to me, and in my own personal opinion I really don't see a threat here at all. I could actually see where this would effect Photographers more than drawing artists, but I would certainly educate myself a lot on this act before ever writing a letter to congress about it.

I know, my mom assured me of that.

But it's very scary, and I have every right to get worked up. I AM writing a letter, still--though I do believe that this won't happen.

Well yeah, anyone has the right to get worked up over anything, but that doesn't always make it healthy for you. ;P And yeah, I don't see it happening either.
