I'm sorry, but this ... ( 1 week ago by WHEATTHlNS)

I'm sorry, but this video is incredibly dishonest. The Orphan Bill is many things, but it in NO WAY requires you to jump through extra hoops to copyright your work. All it says is that an individual must make a genuine effort to search for the owner of a work. Which isn't difficult if you are POSTING a work - they simply must in good faith contact you. This is what's wrong with America, the willful dishonesty in debate.

People who are ... ( 5 days ago by MJWart)

People who are flipping out about this don't understand it. Everything you create is still yours. No one's going to take it away from you. It's up for grabs only when the owner cannot be found. If you take steps to protect and ID your work, you should be fine. If you post your work online with no identifying marks or info on where to reach you, you're asking for it to become public domain anyway.

See, that's false ... ( 2 days ago by MJWart)

See, that's false information. The copyright laws outlined in the Berne Convention are still active, and the U.S. doesn't plan to pull out of it any time soon. According to those, you own your work from the moment you create it. And the scenario you describe would NEVER fly before a court. Whoever uses you work can't just state they couldn't find you, they'd have to prove it. All you have to do is demonstrate that they're wrong and it is, actually, quite easy to find you.
