Ahh yeah, probably :') I hope it will make things easier, though

A lot of people are saying that it'll make all types of fanart illegal.

Oh really? That is interesting. People always jump the gun when it comes to proposed copyright laws, though. There was actually a huge scare only a few years ago about a proposed law that was said to make everyone lose copyrights over their own art (I can't remember the name of it for the life of me) but it was actually just a small bill meant to give ownership to unknown and unclaimed art pieces over 60 or so years old. So, I'm not entirely convinced of the rumors, having seen similar things get completely blown out of proportion before.

That's true. The whole SOPA thing happened a few years ago. People are calling this "SOPA but 10 times worse" and I honestly don't know what to think anymore.

I think it's best to just keep an eye on things, but be careful not to buy into the hype and hearsay ;)

I've been keeping an eye on news sites, but it doesn't help that no real info's being officially released. We only know things that have been leaked.

Ah sorry for the delayed reply, but I was having the same trouble finding anything "concrete" that wasn't just blown up rumors (and while searching, I came across the name of that older copyright bill I mentioned earlier - Orphan Works!)
Here's finally something that should give you some peace of mind, though: graphicpolicy.com/2015/07/20/d…

I'm just hoping for the best at this point.
