The man already steals from political artists who are no known widely in the US. If this bill passes he could steal from anyone and not have to worry about paying much if anything in royalties. I wish more people again the orphan works bill would have the courage to speak out again artists like Shepard Fairey and even Damien Hirst in order to make it clear that we will not support artists who violate the copyright of fellow artists or other individuals. I just don&#039;t understand it. If a kid on Facebook alters the work of someone else the kid will be given the third degree by other artists but if a popular artist does the same it is acceptable. You can&#039;t say that you stand against the orphan works bill while allowing these popular artists to walk all over everything we believe in. </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say that copyright infringers like Shepard Fairey will glow if this bill is passed.
