On 12th October, CEPIC and EVA will be at the Frankfurt Bookfair to address 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 will be explained and the picture agencies’ and authors’ perspective. The ARROW tool, a network supporting the search, will be demonstrated.

  • It is a short presentation in English that will be held from 17:30 to 18:00 at the Frankfurt Bookfair, Hall 4.2 P457, Hot Spot Professional & Scientific Information

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.
