I suspect that is due to one of two reasons. Either I got it dead wrong, or they did not consider a worst-case scenario like pseudo defamation lawsuits by trademark owners. If you are a member of a photographers' organization, you might want to direct them to this article. If they disagree with me and convince me that I am dead wrong, I'll actually feel relieved." ASMP and EP have both been sending e-mails urging their members to contact their senators to oppose H.R. 683. I've written to both of mine. We don't need any more restrictions on what we can photograph! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
