>> We have a bunch of Chicken Littles giving their febrile maunderings and
exhortations to "phone, write, or fax your Congress persons".<<<<

Gerry this is about your country and your governing members about to take
away your personal rights of use by others! Unfortunately if it passes it
will effect every artist - photographer in the world! 

Maybe you should read about it instead of wasting our time. I'd be face into
the internet learning what it's all about as quick as I could. Actually if
you read one or two of the e-mails you wouldn't be asking what it's about! 

There are no "Chicken Little's here! But there are photographers who care
enough about this to alert the LUG-crew just how bad this bill is for
everyone's good!

By the way if you ever refer to me as a Chicken Little again I'll personally
come to California and kick your ass!!

Because if this bill is passed, we all are going to loose control of our
pictures!

So maybe you better seriously pay attention to Tina, George, Harrison, and a
few others because they are showing this in good faith for all.

I do believe you've posted pictures, so that means they're still in
cyber-space for anyone to use whether you like it or not in any fashion they
wish! And not give you credit, a dime or a dollar for your efforts.

So don't you think you better pay attention to this?
