urgent industry news!
I received this in an email today from Phase 1. It is an urgent call from the APA for support against a bill that will impact our industry.. Please take part in stopping the Orphan works Bill. This can change the landscape of our business. Here is the link to find your Senator: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ You can find the fax number on that website, it is too late to send emails. This is Urgent. See the following link to the APA website for more info and a copy / paste letter that you can send to your senator.. http://www.apanational.com/i4a/pages/In ⦠ageID=3875 I am personally going send a fax to my senator in CA at http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/cgi-b ⦠p;state=ca tomorrow. I do not want greedy corporations to get away with making it easier for commercial companies to steal other peoples photography and try to get away withOUT paying any usage fees. Please do what you can, by forwarding this info onto other photographers that you know or by contacting your senator. THIS IS URGENT.
