NEW: #Librarians are under attack and we need to make a big stink between now and 10/4. Unless the US Copyright Office hears from enough of us, librarians will be fired and fined up to $30,000 for sharing resources copyright trolls don't like with patrons. fightforthefuture.org/actions/defend…
Our friends at @library_futures have a great writeup on what's going on with the extremely problematic #CASEAct to make this even a thing.

"Increasingly, libraries are under attack from private sector interests that want to replace the library card with a credit card, and this harmful move to limit what resources people are allowed to learn about at their library is the latest dangerous step." - @LiaHolland

The 7 (seven) published images on the advertisement above cost more than $400 in #copyrightregistration fees. The injustice to visual commercial artists by the @CopyrightOffice continues. We are denied the ability to register more than ONE published work per registration.
Photographers can register 750! If photographers and musicians can register an entire album of work (and receive individual protection to each of the works on the CD), why are visual artists not allowed the same option?
2020 has been a challenging year for everyone around the world, but there’s been so much to celebrate right here at #SAGAFTRA. Check out the highlights!

Important piece today in @insidesourcesdc from @cmcsherr and @k_trendacosta on the CASE Act making its way into the must-pass end-of-year government funding bill, which Congress could vote on as early as today --> insidesources.com/americans-dese… 1/5
The #CASEAct creates an unaccountable "small claims" tribunal within the @CopyrightOffice, meaning it would be exempt from the regulations and procedures of the judicial branch. The tribunal would be allowed to assign damages of up to $30,000! 2/5
That $30,000 fee could be assigned to an unassuming internet user who wasn't aware they were violating #copyright, isn't aware that they can opt out and go through a traditional court, and certainly can't afford $30,000. 3/5
Hi, Jon. #CASEAct is pro family in that it allows independent creators & small "mom-n-pop" businesses a means of possibly protecting their families' incomes against #copyright infringement. It is #Covid_19 related because... 1/2
... these same families livelihoods have been decimated w/ #StayAtHome orders cancelling events, photo shoots, etc. Pro photographers generally have two income streams: assignments & the licensing of #copyrighted material. (Same as musicians w/ royalties) so... 2/3
