NP, man. I can understand that. I was a bit upset when I saw that article also, until I read it a second time and figured out exactly what it was telling me.
I do hope that bill fails, though. We have some pro artists who display work here (Sean is one that comes immediately to mind) and I'd hate to think they would have to register every piece of art at the copyright office. That would cost too much to make it worth the while to be a pro artist.
