Have you heard of this? Injustice, scandal, outrageous are the softest words I can think of to describe this :angered:
Please, take a look at this: [link]
Basically what it says is that if that law, known as Orphan Works Art, is approved, whatever you create as an artist (drawings, paintings, poems, songs, photographs, etc) won't belong to you unless you pay. Yes, you have to pay for something that, up untill now, is known as creator copyright.
Please, sing this petition to prevent this to happen: [link]

These are some journals giving some more details about this:

This law is being impulsed in the States... but even though neither you nor I are in the States, DA is an American website, therefore it is under American rules, hence if that law is approved we will suffer its injustice as well :shakefist:
