THIS IS JUST FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET SIGNED UP. Those of you who have signed already, we are keeping your names on a separate list. WE JUST WANT PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT SIGNED UP YET: <p> This is the final draft of our prologue and petition against the forthcoming Orphan Works Bill. We have 376 signatures so far which I am not reproducing here, because it slows the download too much. We hope to gather more, but time is short, so please talk to everyone you know and ask them to sign on. we are closing the other threads and advising everyone to add their names here only. We are told that this thing could become a reality so it is imperative that EVERYONE add their name. Thanks for putting up with our constant notifications, but you must realize that this is in your interest. We have something like 4 or 5 % of the entire membership signed up. What are the rest of you doing? It does not matter where you live, you must take an interest. Other countries are following suit and if this precedent is set you are all seriously screwed. If you sell anything in the US market, you are screwed. UK too,for that matter, becuase they have a similar bill up and pending. Get with the program folks. You all complain about no work, no money, etc. Well, take charge of your life and stand up for you rights. <p> *We, the undersigned members of an international network of photographers, journalists, filmmakers, documentary makers, visual artists, and writers, are collected together here to make known our profound concern regarding the content and consequences of the proposed Orphan Works bill. </br> We believe that a free society flourishes in relation to its intellectual freedoms. In order for a free society to benefit from the creative efforts of its members, and to guarantee the fertility and integrity of such works, these efforts must be protected as rigorously as our fundamental rights of free speech, free assembly, and a free press. At the heart of the Amendments to the Constitution rests the incontrovertible belief that the tyranny of unchecked powers and interests is a threat to just governance and the social good. As such they must be subject to the rule of law and prevented from transgressing the rights of private individuals or groups of people who do not exercise great authority politically or economically. </br> In order to form a more perfect Union, promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and to our Posterity, we must ensure that the vitality and integrity of the Imagination not be infringed, and that the life of the mind be given adequate scope and protection for it to continue driving the technological and humanitarian progress of all societies. </br> The American Constitution states that one of the duties of Congress is “ “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;â€* (article 1, section 8, clause 8). This providential clause has ensured the progressive development of what was once a small and defenseless nation, pitted against the seemingly unlimited power and resources of the European industrializing nations, and virtually guaranteed that the new ideas and innovative vision of its pioneering peoples would be nurtured, propagated, and guarded for the common good of the nation. There is a clear and vital relationship between our ideas and our social growth: the health of the body politic depends upon preserving it. </br> In this epoch of increasingly intimate and consequential global ties, we are faced with momentous decisions that test our most fundamental beliefs and traditions. New technology, new means of communication such as the worldwide web have raised issues hitherto unknown and unlooked for. Are we to discard over two hundred years of experience and wisdom, and fiddle with laws that heretofore have assured that we all enjoy the fruits of our artists and scientists while respecting the individual garden plots from which they have sprung? Must we now trespass on these grounds and steal the fruit, while the owner is looking the other way? How are we to ensure for our children that which we have enjoyed for ourselves? How are we to pass on to them the means whereby providential and life-sustaining ideas be given a chance to take root? The freedom to think, to create, to imagine greater possibilities exists only if we provide for the creators a life that affords them the scope needed to exercise these vital powers. Ultimately, we are talking not only of the livelihood of the artists but of the quality of life of all humankind. </br> The decision rendered by Congress on this matter would affect not only the citizens of the United States but creative artists and inventors around the globe who depend on the substantial US market and bring to that market their fresh perspectives and ideas, which we in turn need in order to make sense of the new world that confronts us. The world’s leading nation cannot act on this without taking into account the effect it will have on everyone, and the precedent it will establish for other nations to follow. Conscious of this momentous role, and conscious as well, by virtue of our membership in the global network made possible by Lightstalkers, of the many filaments of our vital interconnectedness, we who present you with this petition wish to declare with one voice that the Orphan Works bill contradicts the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. It condemns a large portion of the intellectual patrimony of humanity to ignoble servitude at the behest of capricious market forces whose motives practically guarantee that the intent and aspirations of the authors of these works be thwarted, perverted, and degraded. This bill will not provide for freer use but for the abuse of these works. Respectfully, we submit that the Congress of the United States firmly reject this proposal and wait for the promulgation of a bill whose language is more in keeping with the original intent of the Constitution and which provides a solid foundation for the liberal and justly controlled enjoyment by all of our best creative inventions.

Recently a photographer found an image he'd shot being used on a Far Right website. The picture had been digitally manipulated. But the damage to the photographer, and the models in the picture is already done. In a digital age, the integrity of photojournalism as a record of events is continually under threat. The technology no longer establishes the images veracity anymore, rather, it's the photographer and their organisation (if any), who must establish an 'aura of trust' so that people take the image as an honest representation of events. This is why in recent years, some US newspaper and wire photographers were fired after allegedly manipulating the content of their images. A competition winner even had his prize removed after accusations that 'excessive burning in' and darkening of his images had essentially changed their meaning. And photographer Leif Ericksson is still in legal pursuit of several culprits after one of his images of Jane Fonda and John Kerry was manipulated for political ends. Those organisations and individuals simply cannot tolerate their images being seen as 'false', as it cuts to the very heart of what they do. A lot of the argument which lies behind the OW Bill is echoed by the free software, copyleft and creative commons crew - that is, that creativity should exist as a 'free' artifact to be used and built upon by sucessive generations...and indeed, we can already see its manifestaion on the internet and in popular music in video, music sampling and 'mash-ups'. The problem for us as photographers though, is that our particular genre rests on the principle that our work should NOT be overly manipulated, even by ourselves. If it is, it not only damages us, but undermines the whole assumption that what we all do can be trusted at all. Existing copyright law allows for image manipulation etc for the purposes of satire and parody, and even this is a grey area depending on your sense of humour - one man's gentle joke is another man's Danish cartoon...but that principle already exists in law and should be defended. What we're talking about in our case is a law being passed which essentially makes wholesale copyright abuse and image manipulation for whatever ends, legal. I could already make an argument that digital manipulation of images has already badly eroded trust in photography and photographers already. Take your camera out near a school or a childrens playgound, if you'd like to test that theory... Trust is very important for us as photographers. In our images, and in ourselves. Lose that, and we're fucked.

(: The majority of signers are photographers, but again, there is no reason why anyone that is concerned, opposed to or even indirectly affected by this legislation cannot be included in our petition. </br> And so, again, we plead our case... I. Go and ask your mothers, fathers, children, husbands, wives, agents, accountants, managers, galleries, professional art programs/departments and institutions of higher learning, art instructors, students, and don't forget the clients that you have already sold exclusive licensing rights to, if they might help you to retain (and to their personal gain!) your rights and livelihood, by signing this pro-copyright petition. These are your personal and professional support groups and they will greatly help themselves and at the same time be very happy to support you as an individual, in your efforts to maintain and preserve a healthy, viable and essential creative industry and all that entails. </br> II. Ask whomever may benefit from your estate to consider adding their signature. After all, as your beneficiary, they will be directly and negatively impacted by this unfair legislation. </br> III. _*Everyday You can Help to Protect and Preserve your Creative Property Rights:*_ 1.) Become Knowledgeable in your Defense by Discussing your Rights with Colleagues. 2.) Exercise your Rights through Licensing. 3.) Enforce your Rights through such Actions as Timely Registration before Publication. 4.) Be Positive in your Actions by Participating in Reasonable Negotiations and Fair Contract Practices. 5.) Take the Time to Encourage, Teach and Mentor Others Regarding their Rights, *"If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it." Margaret Fuller*, (May 23, 1810 to July 19, 1850) A brilliant and highly educated American Author and Lecturer. According to the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, "She was one of the most influential personalities of her day in American literary circles." </br> IV. And, finally, as I was just reminded by a recent signer's email, good colleagues, let us fight the good fight then. Let us take pride in our duties of citizenship by respectfully conveying to our Honorable Congressmen and Senators how they may best fulfill our needs through their important duties as our elected officials. </br></br> *"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." *James Madison, *Fourth President of the United States of America*, 1809 to 1817.

I still have not heard anything about this Bill coming out of negotiation, yet. </br> When it does, however, that will be the first time that the public will be able to view it in voting form. At this time the negotiations have a gag on them and so we do not know at this time to what extent we have been allowed to negotiate the terms of the Bill. It has been said by those that could drastically change our livelihood for the worse that very little negotiation will be allowed. And so we need to keep looking for signatures at this time until it is timely to submit our petition. </br></br> *ASMP Continues Year-Long Dialog with Copyright Office on Orphan Works* </br> "At a meeting of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A in New York City last week [January 2006], ASMP General Counsel Vic Perlman publicly stated that, 'As a practical matter, the Copyright Office proposal sacrifices the copyrights of individual creators on the altar of Orphan Works.'
