Subj: OPPOSED to H.R. 5889 The Orphan Works Act of 2008
Dear President Bush,
I am very alarmed by the so-called “Orphan Works Act” of 2008, which has twice very recently been “hotlined” by Senators and has now passed in the Senate. It is a basic philosophical reversal of copyright law and could spell economic doom – not an overstatement – to the enterprises of countless artists. If the bill also passes in the house, I ask you simply to veto the bill. I suggest that your best source of opposition to the bill may be found in the ample resources and rhetoric of the Illustrators Partnership of America.
Sincerely,
Alex Hall
