	Comment by Boughn on May 09, 2008 PDN in a recent article summarizes the current supporters/opponents of the bill.
	Comment by KenneyStudios on May 08, 2008 I've read this, and I don't see where this bill will hurt the artists. I see where it protects the artists. An Orphan Work is a work of art where the author is unknown, and will not affect anyone who is able to prove that a work is their own. Orphan Works . All this bill is doing is creating laws regarding abanonded works of art or works of art where the artist is unknown, probably because it was never recorded. That's all. Whoever created the website you posted exaggerated things and misinterpreted grossly. The links to the original bills you have posted even have sections regarding infringement, protecting the orphaned work until it is determined that that the author is untracable. I see this bill as a good thing for artists.

	Comment by KenneyStudios on May 08, 2008 No offense, but I'd rather read the bill itself as compared to someone else's interpretation of it. This could easily be interpretted incorrectly. I've seen it many times, with many different things.

I am in constant wonder of the world that God has created for us.

I owe any and all genes for photography to my daddy. battling hard against cancer and depression in his later years, he will always be the strapping young man in the photo to me...i love you daddy, you are a gift!
