1. I would like to participate
2. I don't want to have to print and mail a form. Make it online.
3. I object to your stating that if I do nothing I lose my right. That is not legal in the US. You can not use my work unless I say so.
4. This has to be discussed on the World Wide Panorama email group first, before you do anything.
