The companies can see a way to make a profit from the public and from the artists - so many artists won't even take the time to read about the bills and who's behind them, we don't stand much of a chance IMHO. Public knowedge says they want anyone to be allowed to use my property (or yours) for nothing (or 200.00 cap) so as not to "DISCOURAGE" people from using whatever they find. That's a really bad idea from where i sit - my art is MY property, just like my car or my home...maybe its time to lock up the web site and sell over seas where we still have some protection. This will end alot of creative ventures in the US, not encourage them. Too bad the artists/photogs/designers don't create our own registry and to heck with the whole greedy lot and up our prices to fund it. I am sickened that our government will help facilitate this theft from our creative communities just we are too financially challenged to fight it. Shame on us all if it is allowed to happen.

It's one thing to be able to access works that are out of copyright, but there seems to be a loophole in this bill that could enable access to works that are in current copyright...simply by using the excuse the person or company that wants access couldn't find or contact the owner.

I find it very upsetting and wrote in detail to all of my law makers. Senator Mikulski responded with a letter that was actually about the bill and thanked me for bringing the points I mentioned to her attention. The other two sent form letters thanking me for writing them about issue(s). Mary Emma,
