It is appalling to think that certain entities in this country aren't interested in protecting the creative minds. It is important that anyone concerned about this issue takes a moment to speak out against it. Get your voices heard. Write your representatives. Better yet, CALL THEM.

The bill is definitely upsetting and I agree with all of your friends on this forum that the artist community must combat this on a war footing! What else can be done apart from signing the petition? I seriously want to know! Hey Lyn,

My 2 cents.
