After reading the artist's comment on this stamp [link] I felt relief. And a little bit of embarrassment that I fell into hysteria along with thousands of deviants
So in sumary, the bill won't make art theft legal, allow me to quote:
"The Orphan Works bill (which has been around since 2005) makes no concessions to steal your art.
It only covers work for which: --> the copyright owner cannot be found, or --> the copyright has expired and no claims by heirs have been made to said copyright, or --> the art belongs to the public domain
Know your rights under the Copyright Act of 1976. Read the Bill itself, or summaries as provided by the US Government."
But I will keep this stamp, since I still want to state that I'd never abandon my art. (And I got a lot pageviews and favs in a short time, sasasasa....)

We all know that a good person can be a bad artist. But no one will ever be a genuine artist unless he is a great human being and thus also a good one - Marc Chagall Tuss Sryth
actually, your claim to your art expires 20 years after you die in most cases. (for those that live in the US) after that time period has expired, it's likely your art will become an orphan.
Does this count to American Citizens living outside of the country?
If so, I'm gonna be pissed.
