So, I've continued doing research on all of this and Im feeling much better about things. And because I can't say it better than any of these people, Im just gonna post a bunch of good articles/journals with more links in them for you to check out.

VERY GOOD. READ.[link][link][link][link][link]Apparently Mark Simon is a bit of an idiot lol. I wonder if he just wanted to see what reaction he could get out of people. Because he definitely got quite a reaction...
Bottom line - Im more aware of my art and copyrighting/watermarking it. I will give him that. He's DEFINITELY made artists more aware of that. But in a very unintelligent way. So just be aware of what's going on in the art world. Watch out for thieves, but its looking to me like things are going to be just fine. Ill be sure to post if something huge does happen, but I highly doubt anything will. I think we're safe as an art community. XD

[link] <--an article with some fantastic links going through the proposed bits and explaining them, and the misconceptions that are flying around regarding this bill. (Which doesnt currently exist, actually)
And [link] <--something of an opinion work on the original author of the article which started all of this and got you so upset. ;.; He says to follow the money, well, somebody does just that with his sources. Biggest and most telling of all of this I think is that the 'note from a recent meeting with someone who works at the coypright office' is taken from an interview with a guy who doesnt even work at the copyright office anymore, hasn't since 2006 (which was the last time this bill attempted to go through and died due to lack of attention because Congress didnt want to touch it with a ten foot pole.)
Im a watcher of this journal, because it is concerning. But it's not -as- big as the original article attempted to make it be. Thankfully there have been a lot of people who are at home with the legaleese coming out of the woodwork to offer intelligent counters to the issue and help keep people fully informed.

This isn't going to go away by itself, and if there is not a large enough group of people backing those senators and congressmen and women who oppose this, the bill will keep coming back. It's already been preposed more than once.
We just can't wait for the constitution to take care of us the whole time, especially when people don't view the First Amendment the same way.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
