This is a report from the CEPIC-MILE Workshop on "ORPHAN WORKS IN PRACTICE" held in Dresden, 05 June 2009. The report has been written by Angela Murphy, Consultant, Image Management, Metadata and Rights.

Excerpt:

Following on from the seminar on the current threats to the creative industries (‘Getting our message across anti-copyright waters’), CEPIC produced an extremely high-level seminar on one of the hot issues of the moment, so-called ‘orphan works’. The seminar focussed on relaying the latest developments relating to orphan works together with a number of the various practical solutions that are being put forward to try and deal with some very complex issues, both in Europe and the US. The seminar, which was organised band presented by the EU-funded MILE Project, hosted presentations around three main themes:

  • institutional solutions through collecting societies as in the case in France and in Germany
  • trade associations solutions providing authors databases and OW
    registries
  • business solutions such as those provided by Google or Picscout
