This article was just brought to my attention and as an artist the thought scares me. Up until now we have had passive copyright laws that bassically mean as soon as you create something you are the owner of that work unless you sell it or give it away to some one else. If this article is correct the government seems to be planning on doing away with that and privatizing copyright registration to private companies. from what Ive found so far it sounds like if you dont "PAY" these private companies for your copyright than your work is an orphaned work, and any one and their brother can steal it and use it as their own because you didnt want to ( or couldnt afford to) pay some one after you busted your butt to create it.

[link]like I said this was just brought to my attention, so I havent had time to really dive into it too much, but I thought I should pass it along to anyone who cares about their art, and owning their own work free and clear.
Afterall you worked to create it... you should have to then turn around and pay out the rear to some shmuck who just wants to make a buck off of your hard work right? PALEASE!
please do check it out and look into it for all artist's sakes.

im a little jealous of your gallery though
your work is really captivating, the characters have a life of their own, seeming to jump out of the screen

However, before you get too excited, you will notice it is quite bare. This is were I need your help.
I am going to put you in BSG character format. For an example look here. [link] Please answer the following in best BSG fashion.
#1: Name (Real or made up)
#2: BSG Colony of Origin
#3: Callsign
#4: Role on Galactica or other ship. Keep it real. You cannot be XO or Deck Chief or anything major. For example, you could be a marine or deck hand, or even captain of a ship (once again, keep it real. If you need some ideas, find a ship name here [link]
#5: Parents or relatives (real or made up) if they survived Cylon attack.
If you want to do this, just contact me again.

Hi. My name is Forestbender. I act as kind of the herald for a new BSG Fansite called Battle Star Pegasus. It's a wiki, the "sister site" of BSG Wiki. You are obviously a gifted artist as well as a fan of the Battlestar Galactica. I was wondering if you would like to post some of your art on the site. It's in a highly constructed state, but with contributions from artists like you, it could become the hub of BSG fan activities. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time.
So say we all (or maybe just me)
