The quick and easy is it that artist will lose rights to anything they produce that they do not register a copy right to.

how is this shit even plausible?
I have no fucking clue. I am so glad I keep my drawings under wraps.
That Governer has Homophobia.
*going to delete all my art from TnL so you assholes can't steal them and use them to get women and money*
that's why I never posted mine. I don't want it posted someplace else.
But now the ramifications are ... it being stolen and used for money and then they will say they made it all along(paraphrasing).
Nice to see IP law potentially starting to move back toward sanity. Copyright is not a natural right, it exists to encourage new works for the enrichment of society by allowing creators to benefit from their creations for a limited time. The way the registries would be run does sound troubling though - there should be just one, administered by the government, with small fees so as to cover operating costs only (hey, don't we already have that?). And I'm sure the people pushing for this don't want an overall reduction in the length of copyright terms, which is by far the more needed reform.
Unless I missed it, he fails to answer the most important question - how long after creation is an unregistered work considered "orphaned"?
Read this book on the matter, it's free.
For a limited time? I should have the rights to the things I create until I die, at least. As should everyone else.
Patent laws need limits, there is no reason copyrights do.
