Orphan Works Act
If you don’t register every photo and work of art in government certified private databases, you are about to give the legal right for anyone to infringe on your copyright.
“The Orphan Works Act of 2008”, (H.R. 5889) and the “Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act of 2008” (S.2913), were released to the House of Representatives and the Senate recently. While at first glance the law seems to be a ‘last resort’ for a search for the owner of any photograph, artwork or sculpture, the devil, as they say, is in the details.
An “orphan”, as it relates to this legislation, is an original creative work such as a photograph, graphic image, or sculpture, which is still protected by its term of copyright, but the copyright holder can’t be found. Actually, this bill makes it easy for searchers to pretend it’s hard not to find copyright holders!
REGISTRIES WILL REMOVE YOUR COPYRIGHT PROTECTION!
CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR:
Go to www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml to quickly find the phone number, address, e-mail of every U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Governor and State Legislator. Please be polite. Threats only work against us artists. We need to make a professional impression to be taken seriously.
Make yourself be heard. Protect your creations. Every voice counts and so does your right to control your own creations. YOU NEED TO WRITE LETTERS NOW!
We only have a few days to make ourselves heard, as the Senate and House will only allow a short time for comments. Call them, send e-mails and fax letters.

Please read up on this, become informed and based on that decision: NOTIFY YOUR CONGRESSMEN of your opinion!!!! You can tell them how you want them to vote! If enough people speak out against this, we are sure to make a difference! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
This affects EVERYONE, not just professional photographers (I'm not one). You could lose copyright to your own personal snapshots as well.

Eastgate and Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben. Wikipedia
never seen this before...very fortunate to witness this sunrise beaming rays over mountain in Kawah Ijen, East java, Indonesia.
I went to Leatherhead in the hope of seeing all three workings on the 479. In the end, the 489's no-show meant I didn't. I got to Guildford in time to see the 1630 and 1730 departures, and should have seen the 1750 arrival.
Usually, the 1750 does turn up, as there's a handful of people on it, but unless it broke down, it didn't bother yesterday. Perhaps the dire weather had put passengers off.
I'm assuming it went home early.
Since the last time I saw the 479s, the Southern Transit deckers have gone back home (two survied the ordeal, two came off less well).
There's now more Volvo B10Ms on loan from Edward Thomas to cover the route. For some reason I can't fathom, Edward Thomas cover over the destination boxes on most of their vehicles. This is despite the fact they do operate quite a lot of publicly registered school routes, which should show full details.
Anyway - the end result is that the 479 is currently using 100% paper blinds, and normal manual blinds have been wiped from existence in Guildford.
Here we see R905 XFC standing in Commercial Road between trips. This is ex-Stagecoach Hants & Surrey, so is very familiar with Guildford. This would be well demonstrated with a photo of it in Guildford with Stagecoach - but it would seem I haven't uploaded any of the photos of that! I'll have to in due course!
