URGENT ORPHAN WORKS UPDATE!!!

Greetings All!

I know it has been a while, but we thought we were done with Orphan Works for the session and then we would get to come to the table to create a working solution. I have to report that this is trying to literally be passed in the middle of the night. The Senate passed a version of Orphan Works and now the House is trying to do the same.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSPERSON NOW!
TELL THEM NOT TO ADOPT S.2913 OR HR 5889
They are trying to move Orphan Works tonight Oct 2 or tomorrow morning!!!
