Apparently a bill is pending in Congress that would virtually strip all rights to creative works from artists, designers, musicians, you name it. The bill has been referred to as the 'end of copyright'.


Currently and since 1976, in order to be more compatible with international copyright laws, if you have created something you do not have to pay to protect it.


It is automatically considered so. Under this new bill apparently, this would change, whereas if you wanted your work legally protected, you would have to pay to do so.
