Orphan Works: The Bill's Not Law Till it's Law

FROM THE ILLUSTRATORS' PARTNERSHIP:
Yesterday, nearly 5,000 copyright holders wrote Congress. They urged their representatives not to let the House pass the Orphan Works Act (H.R. 5889). They urged them not to scrap the House bill and adopt the Senate's. So far they haven't.

That makes nearly 8,000 of us who've written Congress since last Friday. We thank all of you who've written. Keep writing. Tell others to write. The bill's not law till it's law.

TAKE ACTION: EMAIL CONGRESS NOW
Tell the House Judiciary Committee not to adopt the Senate version.


We've supplied a special letter for this purpose:

The letter would have been effective if it was less hyperbolic.
