Yeah, I downloaded that broadcast and heard what was said. WTF? U mean that all they have ta do is prove that they did a "diligent search" in order ta rip off my art and there's isn' a thing I can do 'bout it. Not ta mention the ridiculousness over havin' ta register "every single piece" of artwork that I create, jus' ta protect it. That's added expense that I can' afford. Then on top of that, if some1 does rip off my artwork; it's my responsibility ta find out who did it and prove that they did it illegally. That I haveta constantly check my registered artwork ta make sure that no one is usin' it illegally. The question that I have is this, If I haveta do that; when am I gonna have time ta do my artwork in the first place?! And what's this crap 'bout art belongin' ta the community? Jus' 'cause an artist might b inspired by some1 else's work doesn' mean that his/hers artwork isn' his/hers. That one professor's got his marbles messed up, "major league," if he truly believes that.
