On Friday September 26th 2008 the disputed Orphan Works bill passed the Senate in the USA.

These two case studies were presented at the CEPIC Congress 2008 Malta: "The Intrusion Of Privacy" by Rupert Grey and "The Evolution Of French Jurisprudence" by Prof Theo Hassler. The "Summary Of Seminar" has been written by Franck Perrier.
These case studies show that France and the UK have gotten closer into their appreciation of the bondaries between the right to privacy v. the right to information. "The landscape of privacy in the UK is undergoing what promises to be a seismic change" tells us Rupert Grey, while Prof. Theo Hassler points to the most recent legal cases in France providing for three major exceptions in stringent French privacy right ("droit à l'image").

Excerpt:
Since we met last June in Florence [2007], the United States Congress has been quiet, at least with respect to amending the Copyright Act. This may change soon. This February [2008], the staff at the Copyright Office
briefed the congressional staffers who are responsible for drafting copyright laws on the status of Orphan Works legislation. While the Copyright Office and Congress hope to pass some sort of orphan works (or unlocatable copyright owner) legislation this session, 2008 is an election year.
