A lot of you might have noticed that this account hasn't been touched for ages. For those of you wondering (If you haven't found me already) I am no longer using this account.

I haven't taken down any of my Deviations because well I don't have all of them backed up and it would take too much time and effort on my part to even move everything from THIS GALLERY to my new one.

So, as a notice. After this journal this account won't be visited. If you want to find me, well I'm certain most of you know my style well enough however. Don't expect to see too many of my old characters as now I've been involved in a Pokemon club.

And if you cannot find me well, I suppose I can call mercy on you guys and give you my new DA...



And that is all, Drakkena is out and I'm going on back to my new account. So if anyone that watches me HERE wants to get a hold of me. Watch me over there.

Well over at Y! Gallery I've ready up more on this so called 'bill' and I feel prey like so many others to the hypnotic ways of the world today. For those who want to read this feel free to as it makes so much more sense and will give you a better look at the crap that Mr. Matt decided to pass on that article I posted earlier (I deleted that journal thankfully)

Quoted from Snover over at Y!Gallery for you guys
"
As both someone that is aware of the current issues surrounding copyright law in general, and orphaned works specifically, I don't know where to start with this error-riddled article.

First of all, Mark's definition of orphan works is wrong. An orphan work is a creative work where the original copyright owner cannot be located or identified. What he is describing as "orphan works" is, in actuality, the public domain. (Though, improper registration only applies to works from before when the Berne Convention was ratified.) (See [link] )

Second of all, there is no current legislation before congress regarding orphan works. The Public Domain Enhancement Act was the last bit of legislation regarding copyright and orphan works reform, and died after being referred to committee in 2006. You can confirm this yourself by searching for "orphan works" at the Library of Congress ( [link] ).

Third of all, the Public Domain Enhancement Act doesn't legalise theft any more than copyright expiration legalises theft. Copyright is supposed to be a short, fixed term exclusive right that encourages the production of new creative works. Copyright was not intended to allow Disney to continue to make money on cartoons created 3 generations ago, or for John Lennon's wife to get rich off her dead husband's estate, but that's how it is today thanks to the large media conglomerates. (For someone that's spending so much time railing against corporations, Mark seems to spend a lot of time not talking about how the major film and music studios have pressured Congress to extend copyright terms 11 times since the original 1790 copyright act.)

Fourth of all, the Public Domain Enhancement Act requires a token payment of $1 every 10 years, ONCE THE COPYRIGHT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT ALREADY FOR FIFTY YEARS. That means, the first 50 years of copyright are still free, even under the proposed Act.

Fifth of all, Mark is wrong about current registration requirements. In order to file ANY copyright infringement suit, not just one for statutory damages, you have to register the work with the copyright office. Statutory damages can only be claimed if the registration is made within 3 months after publication of the work or prior to an infringement of the work. All this information is easily available from the Copyright Office's Web site ( [link] ) so there's no reason for him to get it wrong.

Sixth of all, I'm very interested to learn how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation makes Bill Gates money, since Mark claims that Bill Gates doesn't "do anything unless it can make a huge amount of money". I'm even more interested as to how Mark thinks that Bill Gates stepping down as chairman of Microsoft to move into philanthropy will make him more money than continuing to run the largest software company on earth.

Finally, the most important thing. The point of orphan works laws, which is COMPLETELY missed by this three page comedy of errors, is NOT to make it possible for people or corporations to steal your work. In fact, most of the orphan works legislation has been pioneered by people such as Lawrence Lessig and Eric Eldred -- people that are TIRED of big corporations continuing to steal from the public domain by pushing forward copyright term limits. The point of orphaned works laws is to make it possible for people to use works whose owners cannot be found, thereby preventing these works from fading into oblivion and creating a new surge of creativity built on these freely available works.

Under the current system, even if someone is willing to pay for license to use a work, if they can't find the original copyright holder, they can't risk using the work in case the original copyright holder or a heir surfaces later and sues them.

With the proposed US orphan works law, after 50 years, if the copyright holder does not pay the $1 tax to continue their copyright ownership, the work enters the public domain. How fifty years of exclusive rights is not enough for Mark, I don't know. It's still FAR more than the original 28-year term set back in 1790, and still FAR more than is needed to make money on a work. Any potential legislation that works to reduce copyright terms is a VERY GOOD THING for all creatives today. "

Can it be true!? Has Asheer gotten out of her strict fantasy kick to attempt drawing humans for a change!?

Apparently so, with my MSN Rps I've been doing I've gone from being the normal fantasy/dragon artist to actually working and drawing humans! Now a couple images I cannot post on here due to DA's strictness (They can be seen on my Y!Gal if you're on there) but my latest include

and

[link]

I maybe attempting to do an updated picture of Creed, either in his normal human form or his demonic form (Four arms are a BITCH to draw @_@)

But yes! I am exploring the world of humans, which is a big step for me. On other news... Wrestlemania 24 was AWESOME damn it! And so was Monday Night Raw <3 I missed ECW Yesterday sadly (Though I don't like it as much) but hopefully I can catch SmackDown on Friday.

Though sadly, we will no longer be seeing anymore of Ric Flair he gave it his all in the final moments at Wrestle Mania 24.

I have to say, I will miss him so damn much. He was one of the greatest that has been inducted into the 2008 Hall of Fame and I was crying and tearing up when he lost his match to Shawn Michaels. But, he did he best.

Ric Flair will live on in my heart, and live on forever just like Undertaker, Jeff Hardy and everyone else I love and cherish in the WWE will live on forever with me.

36 years, Ric Flair will never die!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I keep fooling myself thinking up characters for RPs just to start and RP with a person and then all of the sudden they turn around and are all, would someone like to Roleplay with this character (Which is the one I'm currently RPing with)

I'm sick of it on another Forum I am on, its... just hair tugging non-sense. If I'm that bad of a RPer then just FUCKING tell me I can take the hint if you tell me right to my bloody damned face instead of going off behind my back and basically stabbing it.

See, its things like THIS that make me stop writing, that make me feel so damned bad about myself as a Roleplayer or a writer. And its rather just... annoying. For those on The Haven, I'm sorry if there is a lack of stuff but heck... I honestly don't even see why I bothered to restart the forum in general. Mostly, for the reason that its not active, its slow and well, it never appealed to many people in the first place unless they were from NDA.

If anyone transfered over to the new forum, I thank you for it. I'm STILL working out things since Rocky didn't get me the back up files to ALL of the database for the old forum. If you SEE anything missing just tell me. I can't do anything without the help.

Anyway, yes... there's my little after Valentine's day rant... Enjoy
