PPA Urges Photographers to Support House Resolution 1695
From the Professional Photographers of America:
Time to Act: Contact Your Representative Today!
There's a bill in the House of Representatives that needs our attention now!
H.R. 1695 allows the position of Register of Copyrights to become a Presidential Appointee, picked from a list of recommendations from the Senate.* This is positive for all photographers, ensuring that someone with ample knowledge of I.P. and the Copyright world will lead the U.S. Copyright Office in an unbiased manner as it begins to undergo the modernization process. This bi-partisan bill will help guarantee that the Copyright Office will be able to serve all creative artists the way it was designed to.
Please take 30 seconds to ask your representative to support HR 1695.
Additional Info
Note: And while you're at it, you may want to send a second letter to your representative expressing support for Net Neutrality. [Sean]
* In PPA's original publication, they mentioned that the list of recommendations would be provided by the "Judiciary." However, my understaning of the resolution is that the recommendation list would be provided by the Senate. [Sean]
