More info on petition [link]More info on Law [link]
I saw this a few times and ignored it, but then suddenly I got this petition ALOT and I finally started to read this and I freaked out!!! I mean this new Copyright law would destroy DeviiantART and Youtube. It would make it so NO ONE could use copyright stuff(even if we give credit) unless they get an ok from the original owner like Disney or cartoonnetwork and lets face it that wont happen for EVERYONE!!!!!! So please sign and pass along to save our love for drawing, writing, ect about shows we love!!!!

Wow, this is like the 18th different list I've seen. We should make one huge list!

Guys, the new law, in summary, is "The White House today proposed sweeping revisions to U.S. copyright law, including making "illegal streaming" of AUDIO OR VIDEO a federal felony and allowing FBI agents to wiretap suspected infringers."

It doesn't say anything about drawing fanart, vectoring, or tracing.
Of course, this might be the wrong thing entirely... But it's the most recent article I found on the topic.

Well I am going off of everything else I have found and if your right we have nothing to worry about but if the peopel I got this from is right then DA could have to wipe 90% of its art from the site

I agree with MovingPen, I don't think DA has anything to worry about. Some people post screenshots and animation snippets, and might get bitten for it, but aside from that? What we do is perfectly legal. The images are our own. The art is our own. What we choose to draw is our own business.
I think the people you got this from are just rushing through the fine print, assuming the worse and working themselves into a frenzy. I'm sure we're all fine.
