What the hell #SDCC - really??? Isn’t your mission to help uplift comics and artists to the general public? This is outrageous and shameful. Normalizing an industry that only exists because of theft from copyrighted works. BOOOOO! #ComicCon2026

Hearings | California State Assembly Primary witnesses in support must be those accompanying the author or who otherwise have registered a support position with the committee, and the primary witnesses in opposition must have their opposition registered with the committee. All other support and opposition can be stated at the standing mic when called upon to simply state name, affiliation, and position.

2 of 2 Here’s the link that was just posted to the legislature’s website, but it doesn’t really say all that much yet. We are still waiting for the agenda.

1 of 2 - It’s an informational hearing on the subject of AI and Copyright as it relates to AB-412. I have zero clue why they decided to hold this in Big Tech’s backyard, but artists & creators live everywhere, so we will go wherever they hold it.
