Orphan Works Bill

What has everyone heard on this one? I was forwarded some information about this proposed bill from a friend working as an illustrator in California. The proposed bill looks as though it applies to all visual arts. The short of it seems to say that if someone can’t find a credit for your work either on print or on the internet, that they can take it and use it as they like. I’m curious what everyone else’s take is on this. Here are a couple links to more comprehensive information on it:

does design matter

I really enjoyed Jayson Lynes post this evening about design mattering. I can’t think of much to say without quoting from it, so just give it a read.
