This is really bad, basically anything that you don't registered as yours (for which you HAVE TO PAY, yes!!! to pay for something that YOU created!!) is concidered ORPHAN WORK, sketches, family and personal photos (yes my friend, photo logs, hi5 or whaterver) illustration, basically anything that you can create and upload has no rights if you don't pay! even the worl that you ALREADY registered for the past 30 years! not only upload, but if you send sketches to an art director or a editor, and he choose one, you had to registered ALL of them, 'cause if you don't, they can used it, 'cause legally ITS NOT YOURS!!

One of the sickest things of all is that if you use one of your work that you didn't register and someone else registered arguing that is Orphan Works, YOU ARE THE THIEF because your work is THEIRS!!


I know... I'm Mexican anf, of course, I'm not a U.S. citizen, but this affect all of us around the world, but if you are a US citizen, please CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR:

Many other artist are working against this, and the least that we can do is to help others to know about this.
