@PeeWee05;
Yes, that is where this law does get blurry...but, FWIW, here is a quote from the thread I had linked above;

**"At this point I would assume that works created in a non-U.S. country would be protected by the author's home laws. However, as the article notes, if this passes in the U.S. it may also set a precedent for similar legislation in other countries simply because there is much money to be made.

Last year there were some countries that indicated if this law passes, they would actively recommend that persons in their own countries should not display works in the U.S. at all."

@everyone else;

In a nutshell, if this law passes....it would mean that if your work has NOT been registered, it *could * be classified as an *"orphan" * work....in other words, it can be used by anyone in any manner, without compensation to the original artist.

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
