03/25/2005 06:37 PMCory Doctorow:
Jamie Boyle and Duke U's Center for the Study of the Public Domain
have produced two
excellent reports for the Copyright Office
on the plight of "orphan works" whose rightsholder cannot be located.
The reports talk about the real-world problems and suggest practical
solutions to them.
"Orphan Works" probably comprise the majority of the record of 20th
century culture. These works are still presumably under copyright
(only works published before 1923 are conclusively in the public
domain), but the copyright owner cannot be found. The default response
of archivists, libraries, film restorers, artists, scholars,
educators, publishers, and others is to drop copyrighted work unless
it is clearly in the public domain. As a result, orphan works are not
used in new creative efforts or made available to the public due to
uncertainty over their copyright status, even when there is no longer
anyone claiming copyright ownership, or the owner no longer has any
objection to such use.

Thanks, Jamie!)

Copyright Progress, Maybe
The U.S. Copyright Office wants
comments on
"the issues raised by 'orphan works,'
i.e., copyrighted works whose owners are difficult or even impossible
to locate. Concerns have been raised that the uncertainty surrounding
ownership of such works might needlessly discourage subsequent
creators and users from incorporating such works in new creative
efforts or making such works available to the
public."
This is wonderful news, and a sign of that
people like Larry Lessig are
making progress in educating the powers-that-be on the issues.
Public Knowledge has a
good summary.
This is good news. Of course my opinion is
that orphan works should go to the public domain. I guess the details
of how one determines whether something is an orphan or not will be
important, but I'm sure we can think of something. Lessig's idea of a
minimal charge to keep your copyright alive comes to mind.

02/05/2005 10:03 PMI guess "Orphan works" rolls off the tongue a little easier than
"Orphanware" or "Abandonedintellectualproperty". Anyway, the Copyright
