Orphan Works Legislation = Legalized Art Theft?

Journal Entry: Thu Apr 17, 2008, 9:16 PM
I've heard some rather vehement views on this issue. More info:

At the copyright.gov website: [link]
The full report: [link]
Wikipedia: [link]
AWN.com article: [link]
boingboing.net article: [link]

I noticed a key phrase while researching this: "copyrighted works whose owners may be impossible to identify and locate." When juxtaposed with the notion that it "legalizes art theft," I can't help but wonder....

I'm not taking sides (not yet, anyway), and I don't know everything there is to know about this. My only advice (as with any issue) is before we get all up in arms about this, let's do our research, shall we?

Happy Easter to you, too! Doing just fine, thanks. Started my job at the Apple Store not too long ago. Plus I'm hoping to get back to 2D character animation.

How 'bout you? How've you been?
