Well yes, it is, but so is the 70 Billion with a B bailout, to just about everyone, not just us. If congress can't get it's act together and actually debate the merits and actual costs without pointing fingers everywhere, (but at themselves which is where blame belongs), then what makes you think that an issue that matters to smallish minority will even get a fair hearing. Congress will vote with the experts, most of whom aren't, but hey that's politics...

Did any of you stop to think that maybe this is an important issue to people like us? Maybe some of you out there, who live in the US and create photographic (or other media) works that others might want to use, ought to be concerned about copyright laws?

This isn't simply about politics, it's about protecting that which you have created.

Learn a little and maybe you'll condemn less.

This list is, and should remain, a politics-free zone.

You'd lose 99% of the posts. Most of the list is politics; it's just not
elections & such.

That's all the arguments about what Hoya should do; Nikon v. Leica v. ...; Cotty's bastardizations; should it have been cropped vertical or horizontal; too much shadow; burned out highlights; B&W instead of color; digital v.
film; mama done took kodachrome away;

... it's all just politics.
