Q. IDCC: Why are designers opposing SB 1312?

Moved up to May 20, 2008 as there are important on-going reader comments and discussion. [first published May 16, 2008]

[be sure to read comments below!, thanks for posting, Bruce...although I am still unclear about what the proposed law will do for us versus leaving things as they are.]

I’d like to know one thing.

If SB 1312 was such great legislation for designers, why isn’t everyone supporting it?

This is an open invitation for Bruce Goff (Director of Legislation /IDCC) to come back and tell us what the deal is and what you are trying to accomplish or anyone who understands this stuff is fine with me. But preferably I’d like to hear from someone directly from IDCC.

I mean, with all the exemptions, this bill now looks like old swiss cheese, full of holes and kind of smelly. And if not smelly, then at least someone over at IDCC needs to explain this thing.
