This is from Wikipedia Entry on the subject:

On June 6, 2008, artist Frank Stella (with Artists Rights Society president Theodore Feder) published an Op-Ed for the The Art Newspaper decrying a proposed U.S. Orphan Works law. In it, Stella wrote,

“The Copyright Office proposal would have a disproportionately negative, even catastrophic, impact on the ability of painters and illustrators to make a living from selling copies of their work… It is deeply troubling that government should be considering taking away their principal means of making ends meet—their copyrights.”

Sorry for the delays people. Things are getting pretty busy again and I’m trying to figure out where to go next with the weasels. I’ll be working on getting some stuff up soon, so stay tuned for more funny. Until then, go take a look at F Chords, a new strip by Chris Straub.
