The Situation Of Orphan Works in the EU
This is a presentation at the PACA International Conference in New York, 26 October 2008 by Sylvie Fodor, CEPIC Executive Director.
Excerpt:
On Friday September 26th 2008 the disputed Orphan Works bill passed the Senate in the USA. Orphan Works (OW) are copyrighted works, where the copyright owner cannot be tracked down : the new legislation would enable users to reproduce works after “diligent search” but without facing the huge damages provided by US copyright law.
The USA represent a big market for copyrighted works and all foreign works will be affected by American legislation on OW, the most far-reaching legislation of its kind. The contrary is true also so that it may be worthwhile to have a look on what has been going on in Europe in the meantime, both at EU and at national level.
