Senator Leahy is introducing a bill going after copyright infringement. This is serious stuff.
Colleen Doran on her blog, FOUND HERE, has spoken to congressional persons about this issue recently, in support of this bill. She’s posted the whole text of the bill. She is an ardent advocate in support of creators’ rights issues (as noted in my post about WonderCon).
Pay attention, because if you write or paint/draw or compose, you want to be able to have control over how your works go out to the audience, and how much compensation you receive for that.
