This is a report on the CEPIC seminar "Up-date On Orphan Works Legislation In The USA and Europe" held in Malta, June 2008. The report has been written by Franck Perrier, consultant New Media.

Excerpt:

How would you consider an issue which is closely looked at by Google? Did you know that Corbis and Getty dedicate resources to work on that issue as it relates to images without any photographer’s credit? Were you aware that, for the past 3 years, CEPIC and many picture associations met, drafted proposals, recommended legislation on Orphan Works?

If Google looks at Orphan Works as an issue for images as well as text, and you know that they are interested in content and databases, you better think that it is important. As well, it is of primary importance to the picture industry.

If you missed that legal seminar at CEPIC 2008, here is your opportunity to get updated information on Orphan Works legislation from our panel, leading professionals from the ECC, the US, and Germany.
