[NetBehaviour] Fwd: Mickey Mouse Bill

[bob catchpole]

Hi Rob,

>The Mickey Mouse act was the Sonny Bono Act...

Was that the I Got You Babe Act?

My real point, which you don't address, is that copyright is a universal, automatic right. ONLY in the States it means nothing if you don't register. Instead of ending the fiasco and coming into line with the rest of the world, the Orphan Works Bill proposes even more registration. Plain daft. And, like the American government position on climate change, unsustainable. 

Bob

The Mickey Mouse act was the Sonny Bono Act...

As for this being an invitation to infringe on a scale previously 
undreamed of, I think a lot of people are vastly overestimating both the 
value of their work to Disney and the likelihood of their being untraceable.
