ROBYN.COM

It's like with Robyn. With her terribly empowering attitude and severe Swedish pop style (she played Letterman with a band wearing mascot-bear heads), the odds are long on her being blasted by our wasted youth at the keg party in the wheat field. However, anti-guy lyrics like "you're a selfish narcissistic psycho freaking bootlicking nazi creep" ("Handle Me") and her swooping blonde locks are impossible to ignore. So we like her. And we go and see her show where our DJ friends play alongside her and have her picture taken with her where she is flashing a peace sign. We make ghetto slideshows of party pics featuring "With Every Heartbeat" and we YouTube cellphone vids of live acoustic performances of "Show Me Love." We go gaga at her wacky performances on TV via something called redlasso.com. Even Ms. Perez Hilton herself has endorsed the Scandanavian robo-babe. And who notices? Just us.

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

 

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.
