News: US copyright lobby out-of-touch

Many Artist and filmmakers dream about getting there work on the Hollywood stage, but in this news article about how the US is behind in this field. This is a very disturbing bit of information for me, because I am an Artist trying to make sure my work isn't stolen by thieves.... And now this..

"The International Intellectual Property Alliance, an association that brings together US lobby groups representing the movie, music, software, and publisher industries, last week delivered its annual submission to the US government featuring its views on the inadequacy of intellectual property protection around the world."

The most interesting part about this article is that they single out only a few countries, and don't discuss their own copy writing laws. I have a very deep respect for Artist and I feel they should not be fooled by other people about copy writing laws. We all need to make sure we actually read the newest version of the law and also know the laws of other countries too.
