I won't give up on my dreams.

Hi, to all of you that have encouraged me with this Petition, I thank  you. I am trying really hard to get this Petition signed.

It's important not only to me, but to all of the other Artists that have gotten ripped off in the past, and the one that don't yet know that they are going to be ripped off.

If we allow this law to remain unchanged there will more than likely be future victims.

Writers, Artists, etc... are vulnerable, especially now that they can post their 'works' on the net. Most of them do not believe that anyone would do such a thing as to rip them off.

The ones that I talked to that were ripped off still find it hard to believe that it happened to them. We are a trusting breed. Just look around at how many young writers are posting, should this be their future. An adult shouldn't have to deal with it.

Our 'works' are our livelihood. We spend months at a time, and sometimes years perfecting it. Why should we only have a 3-year umbrella?

That's time enough to hide evidence, or shred it. Because of the Internet, it can now be stolen and hidden anywhere in the World. It can be hidden long enough to take away our RIGHT to sue for Infringement.

Attorneys need time to collect and review evidence. They have to have 'Depositions' taken. They need time to serve subpoenas to witnesses and to subpoena records, etc... How can we expect to find Representation with the clock ticking so quickly?

We were led to believe that we had 70 years, not just three. Our children are supposed to be able to inherit our Royalties, as other's children inherit an Estate, Trust fund, or any other means that we have to care for our children after we're gone.

Three years is just simply not enough time, too many things can happen. Help to restore the Copyright Protections that we were promised in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the Laws pertaining to this right.

I want to plant trees and grass on the playgrounds in the poor areas of town, we only had sand to play in. I can't afford to.

I was dream of buying up blankets in the winter and distributing them, it gets cold here. Warm meals, I can't give them.

I grew up poor. I've been through some of the same things as a lot of the people on the streets. They don't scare me, I've talked to them and I've helped them in the few ways that I can.

I want to start an Orchard, I already have the trees in buckets. It's like the ripple-effect, but using a river. The giving and the care lands on banks clear down stream. I have friends I will never see again due to Domestic violence. Children that grew up too soon, old and bitter at a ripe young age.

I want to feel free to write, without the fear that it could be stolen and used without my knowledge, and with no fear on their part of repercussions.
Respectfully and sincerely, Darlene
