COPYRIGHT OFFICE ANNOUNCES ORPHAN WORKS STUDY (70 FR 3739)

The Copyright Office seeks to examine the issues raised by
"orphan works," that is, copyrighted works whose owners are
difficult or even impossible to locate. Uncertainty
surrounding ownership of such works might needlessly
discourage subsequent creators and users from incorporating
them in new creative efforts or making such works available
to the public. The Copyright Office requests written
comments from all interested parties on whether there are
compelling concerns raised by orphan works that merit a
legislative, regulatory, or other solution, and if so, what
type of solution could effectively address these concerns
without conflicting with the legitimate interests of authors
and right holders. Comments are due by 5:00 p.m. EST on
March 25, 2005. For detailed information on submission
requirements and further information, go to the Copyright Office
website at
