Orphan Works And Mass Digitization

The Office of Copyrights has issued a Report and Notice of Inquiry for public comment concerning works that users wish to exploit, when they cannot locate the copyright owners.

It is likely that the legal penalties will be limited when a copyright owner discovers that his/her copyrighted work has been exploited by someone else.

Best wishes,
