On 12th October, within the framework of the Frankfurt Bookfair, CEPIC and EVA addressed the issue of Orphan Works.
Cultural heritage institutions scan and digitize their collections to give access to the public. A growing number of images is concerned. Prior authorization is needed but not all rights holders can be tracked.
The legal back ground was explained by prof. Dr. Dreier (KIT). The ARROW tool, a network supporting the search, was demonstrated by Paola Mazzuchi (ARROW).
The CEPIC presentation which outlines CEPIC's position on Arrow Plus may be downloaded here.

BySarah SaundersThat's easily said, but CEPIC has taken a concrete step to help by commissioning the CEPIC/IPTC Metadata Handbook, authored by Sarah Saunders of Electric Lane with the active participation of the IPTC Photometadata Working Group.
With 76 IPTC fields now available for use, people working in the image business need an overview of metadata planning where IPTC fields are seen in a workflow context. The aim of the guide is to show how companies can follow key principles and plan metadata to suit their own resources, environment, and customer profiles. Only enter data once. Don't use software which drops metadata. Plan your workflow to included metadata. Embed critical data in the image file. ..and so on.

Major ARROW study demonstrates key issues in clearing the rights of Orphan Works from 1870-2010 and the importance of the ARROW system.
The British Library, as part of the wider EU funded ARROW (Accessible Registries of Rights Information and Orphan Works) project, has published a study into rights clearance and mass digitisation which examines the issue of orphan works - works for which the rights holder is untraceable. The initial phase of the ARROW project was concluded in February 2011 and the follow-up phase - ARROW Plus - is now underway as a flagship project of the European Commission.

Orphan Works: Proposal for a directive

On Tuesday 24 May, the European Commission has adopted a Proposal for a Directive on certain permitted uses of orphan works with a view to establishing common rules on the digitisation and online display of so-called orphan works.
Orphan works are works like books, newspaper and magazine articles, and films that are still protected by copyright but whose authors are not known or cannot be located or contacted to obtain copyright permissions. Orphan works are part of the collections held by European libraries that might remain untouched if no common rules are developed to make their digitisation and online display legally possible. Common rules on how to deal with such works are therefore necessary in order to proceed with large-scale digitisation projects, such as the Commission’s Europeana portal.

Google banned Belgian newspapers both from Google News and Google Search after the Belgian publishers collecting society, Copiepresse, supported by a number of journalists and photographers, filed and won a copyright infringement lawsuit against Google in 2006 and 2011.
However, after some negotiations, Google has now announced that it will re-index the pages in their search engine.
Copiepresse accused Google of unauthorised listing of the newspapers in their news search and for making profit out of it. Furthermore, the cache function allowed users to preview content that has already been taken off the actual website. The claim has been admitted by the court on May 5th, 2011.

The issue of orphan works issue is of vital importance for the visual industry business.
This is not because of a high number of orphan works, but because of a high number of apparent visual orphan works, which may become free to use in the course of badly crafted legislation, depriving rights holders of a legitimate remuneration.
In the context of the current orphan works EU initiatives and the ARROW PLUS project, CEPIC organised half a day conference at its annual Congress, this year in Istanbul.
