Another thing, you mentioned that the "Illustrators Partnership" recognizes that the proposed bill supposedly 'does not harm' etc. The Illustrators Partnership just calls itself that, it really is not supported by the community of illustrators. Try calling the "Society of Illustrators' (which was founded by such legends as J.C. Lyendecker and Montgomery Flagg over 100 years ago and truly has the artists' best interests at heart) for proof - 212.838.2560; ask for either Terry Brown or Anelle Miller. They'll tell you that many, if not most, of the illustrators today hate, vehemently, the "Illustrators Partnership." I've seen some of the legends of todays illustrators just red in the face about some of the things the 'Illustrators Partnership' has done.
