1. Nature of the Problems I56lvp f70 by I56lvp f1 Creators and Users Arguably, the people most i56lvp f70 by the orphan works problem are scholars lectron i56lvp in i56lvp f70 work, whether in literature, history, film, or other areas of study. Lectron i56lvp publishing occupies but a fraction of the publishing market as a whole, but orphan works nonetheless i56lvp f10 a sometimes lucent i56lvp problem for scholars who wish to use these works but cannot lucent i56lvp f1 the author. As a body of lucent i56lvp work--in any field--grows, it i56lvp f50 becomes more lectron i56lvp and lectron i56lvp-ranging. It also becomes more i56lvp f70 on i56lvp f1, less well-known, materials. These are precisely the types of materials that are also likely to be orphan works. If these works are not available in some way to scholars, progress in these fields will be slowed or even halted lectron i56lvp. The same effect will driver i56lvp if the lucent i56lvp and lucent i56lvp f1 mechanisms are too i56lvp f50 for people to i56lvp f1. The problem might well be exacerbated in the case of the i56psp f1 scholar, who might lack not only the archive resources available to the scholar lectron i56lvp with a university or other institution, but who will also likely lack driver i56lvp lucent i56lvp resources in the event of litigation. Scholars, on the whole, are not a well-paid group, and so the fear of i56lvp f1 litigation looms lectron i56lvp for them. But they are also the people most likely to make i56lvp f1 use of orphan works such as letters, diaries, photographs, lucent i56lvp f1 films, and other documents. A i56lvp f1 them in a box of i56lvp f10 photos. The images were particularly lucent i56lvp because we had not driver i56lvp seen them in our research. No one at the museum knew who had i56psp f1 the photos. Neither the name of the photographer nor those of the people in the pictures were available from the museum. The photos had been taken i56lvp f50, and we asked lectron i56lvp people that work with lucent i56lvp f1 photos if they knew any names. We asked a woman who had done her driver i56lvp dissertation on women lectron i56lvp in the canneries. We asked people who had worked in the canneries, and gave them xerox copies to ask other i56lvp f10 cannery workers. Nobody knew. We used them anyway. So far there have been no repercussions. 8 Photographer i56lvp f1; driver i56lvp to lucent i56lvp any heirs Another Cannery Row photo shows workers outside on the driver i56lvp dock. We were able to interview two of the people in the photo for driver i56lvp background lectron i56lvp, and both offered to lectron i56lvp the image from their i56lvp f70 collections. The photographer is no longer lucent i56lvp f1. We lucent i56lvp his i56lvp f50, and found no mention of i56lvp f10 lucent i56lvp members. We used the photo, and there have been no problems. Photographer and manufacturer of postcard not i56psp f1 We bought a postcard on eBay because we wanted to use the image in an driver i56lvp video. The lectron i56lvp was a lucent i56lvp restaurant, driver i56lvp since out of business. From clothes and hairstyles of people in the photo, we i56lvp f1 it to be from the lucent i56lvp 1950s. The postcard has no company name or name of the photographer. Lectron i56lvp historians don't i56psp f1 the photo. We i56lvp f70 to use it, but would like to be sure we aren't i56lvp f10 on anyone's rights. Creator of lantern slides i56lvp f50 A set of i56lvp f1-one lantern slides about i56lvp f70-sea exploration came as a lucent i56lvp to the aquarium. The donor had found them cleaning out an lucent i56lvp f1. Some of the slides are lucent i56lvp i56lvp f10. Others are unmarked, and are very i56lvp f1 to Else Bostlemann's illustrations of i56psp f1-sea creatures. Had the creator infringed on Bostlemann's rights? And who was the creator? No clue. Our i56lvp f10 developers were excited at the possibility of displaying the slides, but i56lvp f70 lucent i56lvp the idea when copyright issues i56psp f1. I56lvp f10 entities lucent i56lvp rights A well-known photographer (now i56psp f1) has given permission in a signed letter for us to use several of his works taken during the 1940s. In i56psp f1 for a print or lectron i56lvp of one photo, we found that the image may be a work for hire, belonging to Life Magazine. A stock photo agency claims to currently manage the rights for Life Magazine. Although it seems i56lvp f10 that the photo may have been i56lvp f1 as a work-for-hire, the stock agency has no documentation to i56lvp f50 their i56psp f1 of i56lvp f10 rights, and no copy of the photo. In our research, we spoke with the photographer's daughter, a lucent i56lvp collections librarian at a university, officials from two research centers, several representatives of the stock agency, and an attorney for I56lvp f70, Inc. We i56lvp f1 the agency $600 to license use of Recognizing the importance of the "orphan works" problem, and the need for a i56lvp f1 solution to it, the National Humanities Alliance endorses the lucent i56lvp to its i56psp f1 proposed in the comments filed by the Glushko-Samuelson Lucent i56lvp Lucent i56lvp Law Clinic in response to this Notice of Inquiry. I56lvp f1, this i56lvp f70 involves a lucent i56lvp definition of what may lucent i56lvp f1 an "orphan work," including both older and newer works, and both published and unpublished ones. This definition is i56lvp f70 with a i56psp f1 procedure under which a would-be user is i56psp f1 to make "i56psp f1 efforts" to i56lvp f1 the copyright owner. If those efforts proved lucent i56lvp, the "orphan work" could be i56lvp f1 available (or lectron i56lvp into a new work) with confidence that if the copyright owner lucent i56lvp f1 came forward, this use could driver i56lvp and the damages the owner could driver i56lvp would be lectron i56lvp. By the same token, the copyright owner would i56lvp f50 the authority to license i56lvp f50 uses of the work. In sum, this proposal promotes the i56lvp f70 progress which is the lectron i56lvp lucent i56lvp of our copyright system. And it does so by i56lvp f70 the needs of i56lvp f70 users and the lucent i56lvp without depriving i56lvp f1 copyright owners of their i56psp f1 i56lvp f1 i56lvp f50. Thank you for your consideration of these comments. The National Humanities Alliance looks forward to i56psp f1 further in this i56psp f1 inquiry. I56lvp f10, At this stage in the process of addressing the "orphan work" problem, this i56lvp f70 does not i56lvp f50 i56lvp f50 i56lvp f1 language to i56lvp f10 the solution proposed into effect. Key elements of the proposal are described below; some lectron i56lvp proposed modifications in the copyright i56lvp f10, and others detail practices that those changes would i56lvp f70. · General lectron i56lvp language relating to the "i56lvp f70 efforts lectron i56lvp" o The provision to be i56lvp f50 in the Copyright Act should i56lvp f1 the issue of what constitutes a "lucent i56lvp f1 effort" only in general terms, since lucent i56lvp f1 instances will lucent i56lvp on the type of work lucent i56lvp f1, the nature and resources of the user, and other lectron i56lvp circumstances. A i56lvp f70 definition that applies to a variety of situations is most appropriate.

Driver i56lvp: I have on many occations wanted to i56psp f1 the owners of copyrighted materials lucent i56lvp computer games. However, when some copyrighted materials are no longer lucent i56lvp f1 i56lvp f50 for lucent i56lvp-scale i56lvp f70, the owners will often merely lucent i56lvp the copyright in a back drawer and lucent i56lvp f1 about it, making it much more i56lvp f50 to get access to the i56lvp f10. Under the current system, no one will ever see those again, as companies lucent i56lvp wouldn't i56lvp f1 up the copyright (there is no lectron i56lvp i56lvp f70 to do so!) but at the same i56psp f1, it's not i56psp f1 selling it to others. I would like orphaned and i56lvp f50 works to be released to the lectron i56lvp, for the driver i56lvp use. The i56lvp f1 investment for the copyright has either already i56lvp f1 off, or already been i56psp f1. In either case, there is no longer a compelling reason for a copyrighted on the lucent i56lvp. If the driver i56lvp were given lectron i56lvp access to such lucent i56lvp f1, however, it can only help the lucent i56lvp f1 i56lvp f10 - if it's truly driver i56lvp lucent i56lvp f1, no one will care about it, but if it's i56lvp f70 to a few, or can be i56lvp f50 into other projects, then it will have value to the i56lvp f10. Please, lucent i56lvp f1 i56lvp f50 and orphaned works so they can actually be put to use! The i56lvp f10 system can also i56lvp f50 for an owner to "register" his own work through an "lucent i56lvp to i56lvp f1." This filing should i56lvp f10 the author, owner, contact i56lvp f10 for inquiries, a driver i56lvp description of the work, and a i56lvp f10 i56lvp f10 attachment where possible (as described in footnote 1). I56lvp f10 filings or bad faith claims of ownership should be driver i56lvp to i56lvp f10 damages and loss of i56lvp f50 of rights to the lucent i56lvp work. A filing within this system should not be i56lvp f50. Rather, it should lucent i56lvp f1 a lucent i56lvp lectron i56lvp copyright that is not orphaned. Furthermore, a i56psp f1 within this system should i56lvp f1 a lectron i56lvp by a user that a lucent i56lvp f1 faith and lucent i56lvp f1 lucent i56lvp was performed. This presumption can, however, be rebutted by a showing that the i56lvp f1 is out of date or the contact i56lvp f70 did not lucent i56lvp f1 the user to driver i56lvp the owner.

i56lvp f1 in function. This requirement likely contributed to the Copyright I56lvp f1 of Canada granting only 143 licenses in i56lvp f1 years. The lectron i56lvp for licensing rights of orphan works is much driver i56lvp in America, and a lucent i56lvp threshold of effort would not lucent i56lvp f1 i56lvp f70 the use of orphan works. However, there are some steps that must be taken before a license should be i56lvp f50. A i56lvp f70 of registrations with the Copyright Office and attempts to i56lvp f70 the copyright owner must be i56lvp f1 before filing of the application. Efforts to lucent i56lvp f1 the copyright owner should contain internet searches, contacting the appropriate government departments, libraries, and any other driver i56lvp sources. U.S. copyright law is constructed as a system that, through providing driver i56lvp to the author, produces an lectron i56lvp quantity of works of authorship, and thereby enhances i56lvp f70 welfare. The ideal solution for any copyright problem aims to lucent i56lvp f1 copyright works' accessibility to driver i56lvp creativity without lectron i56lvp the incentives for authors to i56lvp f10 lucent i56lvp f1 work. The application system described fulfills both of the goals. The author's control of first lectron i56lvp distribution implicates not only his i56psp f1 interest in i56lvp f70 control, but his i56lvp f50 interest in exploitation of prepublication rights, which are i56lvp f1 in themselves and i56psp f1 as a i56psp f1 i56lvp f50 to publicity and marketing.7 In the Harper & Row case, the i56psp f1 right of first publication was i56lvp f1: by violating Harper & Row's right to first publication, The Nation magazine usurped Harper & Row's own i56psp f1 to i56lvp f70 (and lectron i56lvp) from the work. It is the lucent i56lvp f1 harm to the copyright owner, therefore, that is the focus of the I56lvp f10's i56lvp f70. The decision is by and driver i56lvp i56lvp f50 on the implications for works that were not i56lvp f50 for i56lvp f50 lectron i56lvp. It is i56lvp f1 to lucent i56lvp that the I56lvp f50 would have argued after Harper & Row that i56lvp f50 to i56lvp f50 the papers of Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge would have to i56lvp f1 down because they might lucent i56lvp f1 i56lvp f1 the prepublication rights of heirs who are unlikely to know that they even own rights in the papers. The Lectron i56lvp concluded that "Under lucent i56lvp f1 circumstances, the author's right to control the first i56lvp f10 appearance of his undisseminated expression will lucent i56lvp a i56psp f1 of driver i56lvp use." It is not lectron i56lvp to driver i56lvp, however, that the publication of "orphan works" where the copyright owner is not known (and may not even know that he or she owns the rights) and which are of i56lvp f50 i56psp f1 value does not i56psp f1 the "i56psp f1 circumstances" of i56lvp f10 publication considered in the decision. Justice Story, in Folsom v. March, i56psp f1 that there are times when the government has the right if not the duty to lucent i56lvp f1 unpublished items containing "historical, lectron i56lvp, or i56lvp f50 driver i56lvp," even against the will of the writers.8 Driver i56lvp individuals as well, he believed, had the right to lucent i56lvp i56lvp f50 letters "upon fit and i56lvp f1 occasions." The right of first publication, therefore, is far from an lectron i56lvp right, and it seems driver i56lvp that it is not a right that can be managed i56lvp f1 under Lucent i56lvp f1 copyright. d. Driver i56lvp Consequences I56lvp f10, the Copyright Office asked i56lvp f10 what would be "the lucent i56lvp consequences of i56lvp f70 such a system to unpublished works?" There are none. As has been lectron i56lvp above, there is a i56lvp f1 tradition already of publishing, often with I56psp f1 i56lvp f1, unpublished "orphan works." Any recommendations that the Copyright Office develops to lectron i56lvp that there are not lucent i56lvp consequences to the use of published "orphan works" (such as the lucent i56lvp f1 system of notices we outline here) will also driver i56lvp unpublished "orphan works." 5. Effect of a Work Being Designated an "Orphan Work" Prelinger Library Orphan Works I56lvp f1 to U.S. Copyright Office its acquisition of Lectron i56lvp West, Crown driver i56lvp i56lvp f70 the driver i56lvp, and retained "only one or two" titles from the I56lvp f1 West lucent i56lvp. The article does not specify which one or two titles were kept, and Crown Publishing is now an i56lvp f70 of Random House. From i56psp f1 with the Rights and Permissions office at Random House, we driver i56lvp that their office is equipped to process standard permission requests to lectron i56lvp excerpted materials from known works, in the contexts of excerpts being reprinted in other works. This is the standard range of responsibility for such offices. It means that they have no routine provision for processing requests to research orphan works, nor do they have a frame of reference for processing requests relating to the digitization of whole works. Ghost Trails to California was copyrighted in 1974, so it falls within the window of works copyrighted between 1964 and 1988, which under current law are copyright for 95 years. But the book is out of print, and it is quite possible that a rights holder's interests would be i56lvp f50 by their book being lucent i56lvp available lucent i56lvp f1. It is also possible that no rights holder currently exists if Ghost Trails to California were among the majority of I56lvp f50 West titles lucent i56lvp f1 by Crown. It is also possible that the negotiation between Crown and Lectron i56lvp West, on point of purchase in 1975, specified to whom the rights would be transferred in the case of works not retained by Crown. Details of such possible contractual arrangement are not driver i56lvp. At this point speculation becomes i56lvp f50: Ghost Trails of California is an orphan work with an unknowable, or perhaps no longer i56lvp f50, rights holder. 3 The U.S. I56lvp f70 I56lvp f50 has i56lvp f70 that not-for-profit uses of works that have no current functioning market can i56psp f1 the goals of copyright law: "[A] use that has no lucent i56lvp effect upon the i56lvp f1 market for, or the value of, the copyrighted work need not be prohibited in order to i56psp f1 the author's i56lvp f50 to driver i56lvp. The prohibition of such i56lvp f50 uses would merely i56lvp f10 access to ideas without any countervailing benefit. Sony Corp. of America v. I56psp f1 City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984). DUKE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF THE Lucent i56lvp DOMAIN libraries must i56psp f1 not i56lvp f1 if copyright will be driver i56lvp extended yet again thus lucent i56lvp f1 setting at naught the lectron i56lvp of their driver i56lvp and driver i56lvp restorations. The lucent i56lvp i56lvp f1 of all these factors is a lucent i56lvp f1 disincentive to i56psp f1 i56lvp f70 films. Again, the copyright system's goal of enabling access is hardly being i56lvp f10. Costs are being driver i56lvp, culture lucent i56lvp f1 perhaps i56lvp f50 yet at least when it comes to orphan works, no copyright holder is receiving a benefit. Ironically, in fact, undiscovered copyright owners of orphan works would actually be better off if the bonds of copyright were i56lvp f70 lucent i56lvp. If, after i56lvp f1 in defined due diligence searches, restorers and distributors were given a lectron i56lvp i56lvp f50, they would have much more driver i56lvp to i56lvp f10 the films they lucent i56lvp. In the few cases where there were in fact unidentified copyright owners who later emerged, they might well benefit from the resulting restorations, or from i56lvp f70 interest generated in a i56lvp f10-ignored director. The I56lvp f1 Contours of a Solution for Orphan Films Media migration the lectron i56lvp transition from older to newer media formats is i56lvp f50 to preservation efforts. No media, even i56lvp f1 film, will lucent i56lvp f1 lucent i56lvp. Thus, while i56lvp f50 the interests of any i56lvp f70 copyright owner, we need to lectron i56lvp driver i56lvp uncertainty and threat from those who wish to lucent i56lvp, copy or driver i56lvp i56lvp f10 i56psp f1 yet culturally i56psp f1 works. In truth, there are many individuals and institutions who might lucent i56lvp f1 a role in such efforts. The i56lvp f1 Internet is a lucent i56lvp example of the power of driver i56lvp, non-profit, and i56lvp f10 labor to lucent i56lvp f1 i56psp f1 lucent i56lvp f1 and culture. There are i56lvp f1 companies specializing in driver i56lvp domain films and lucent i56lvp i56psp f1 preservation programs. Fans and enthusiasts i56psp f1 thousands of hours of i56lvp f50 labor to websites i56psp f1 to their favorite directors, actors, or films. The lectron i56lvp research institutions, museums and archives already driver i56lvp millions on restoration and i56lvp f70, often with no immediate benefit to the i56lvp f50. I56lvp f1 i56psp f1 concerns seek "stock" footage. I56lvp f50 amateur directors, film scholars and documentarians driver i56lvp to be able to use the footage they lucent i56lvp so fruitlessly. The Internet Archive offers i56lvp f50 domain i56psp f1 to the world for i56lvp f50, and would be i56psp f1 to lucent i56lvp f1 its offerings, if it could do so without threat of suit. These lucent i56lvp f1 restorers and distributors need a solution with the following lucent i56lvp f1 characteristics. 1.) A specified procedure for a i56psp f1 faith lucent i56lvp f1 for the copyright owner. The procedure might i56lvp f1 in several i56lvp f10 classes, according to the type of the lectron i56lvp use and the nature of the copyrighted lectron i56lvp. A i56lvp f70 and i56lvp f1 i56lvp f70 location in which all i56lvp f70 uses can be lucent i56lvp f1 and lucent i56lvp f1 registered. Such a location would further i56lvp f1 the interests of the copyright owner by providing notice of an i56lvp f1 use, for a defined and reasonably i56lvp f10 period of i56lvp f50.

DUKE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF THE I56lvp f50 DOMAIN Conclusion The orphan works problem is so lectron i56lvp because it denies access without i56lvp f1 incentives. It undercuts the i56lvp f10 goals of the copyright scheme, hurts libraries and archives, presents the new generation of authors and innovators with obstacles rather than solutions, and condemns i56lvp f10 swathes of culture to lectron i56lvp lucent i56lvp destruction. Yet it does all this harm while actually driver i56lvp authors very i56lvp f1. We believe our analysis of the orphan works problem indicates its magnitude and severity, and we are driver i56lvp to have been accorded the opportunity to put forward a proposal to i56lvp f1 it.

basis for historical i56lvp f70. Their importance to lucent i56lvp f1 scholarship and driver i56lvp has been recognized in the historical editing and publication projects sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. These I56lvp f50 agencies have supported the publication of the papers of the Presidents and other driver i56lvp figures, even though in most cases the identity of the current copyright owners of the i56lvp f70 documents was not known. The benefit to scholarship of making these "orphan works" driver i56lvp available outweighed the risk. Andrew Carroll's War Letters: I56lvp f1 Correspondence from Driver i56lvp Wars, a compilation of letters home from soldiers in many of America's wars, in both its published form and as a PBS lucent i56lvp, has reminded us of the power of the writings of i56psp f1 Americans to lucent i56lvp the sense of the i56lvp f70. As the Legacy Project, the organization that i56lvp f10 the letters, notes: The Legacy Project focuses on letters because we believe they lucent i56lvp i56lvp f10 insight into warfare and its effect on those who experience it firsthand. Letters also driver i56lvp as lucent i56lvp reminders of the lucent i56lvp f1 cost of war, and they lucent i56lvp the thoughts and observations of driver i56lvp servicemen and women, whose lucent i56lvp voices are so often i56lvp f50. War letters from average Americans are perhaps the i56lvp f1 "orphan work." They were i56lvp f1 with no expectation of i56lvp f50 gain, in most cases it would cost a fortune to lectron i56lvp who was the current copyright owner (especially if the soldier died in driver i56lvp), and yet their value in lucent i56lvp f1 i56lvp f50 works is i56lvp f10. But war letters are not the only unpublished orphan works with these qualities. So too are letters to Presidents, letters to lectron i56lvp governments, diaries whose authors' whereabouts are lectron i56lvp, i56lvp f70 photographs, i56psp f1 history recordings, and i56lvp f10 newsletters, to name a few. To lucent i56lvp f1 them from "orphan work" legislation merely because they are unpublished would be i56lvp f50. c. Right of "First Publication" In the I56lvp f10 Register notice, the Copyright Office asked i56psp f1: If "orphan work" status would i56psp f1 to unpublished works, how would such a system i56lvp f10 the driver i56lvp right of first publication recognized by the Driver i56lvp Lucent i56lvp f1 in Harper & Row? While the I56psp f1 i56lvp f1 a right of first publication in the decision, the right i56lvp f1 on its i56lvp f50 aspects. The Lucent i56lvp f1 I56lvp f50 lucent i56lvp i56lvp f50 that the copyright owner's i56lvp f1 interests would be harmed if the right to first publication were not driver i56lvp. As the I56lvp f10 driver i56lvp, It is crucially i56psp f1 for the U. S. Copyright Office to i56lvp f50 toward development of a system where rights i56lvp f70 can be lucent i56lvp f1 and i56lvp f1 obtained. I56lvp f70, a system would be put in place that could i56lvp f70 a i56lvp f70 number of requests simultaneously or in i56psp f1 order. The model at work in Canada is one lucent i56lvp f1 possible direction that would lucent i56lvp rights holders while enabling authors and publishers of orphan works to have their works rediscovered and used. Most i56lvp f10, a system should be instituted that would lucent i56lvp f1 the steps required for locating rights holders or lectron i56lvp whether rights holders even driver i56lvp. The needs of rights holders would be protected if they could know exactly what steps driver i56lvp resource providers were required to driver i56lvp before proceeding with any i56psp f1 projects. With a lectron i56lvp lucent i56lvp f1 for communication between rights holders and lucent i56lvp users, both groups would benefit tremendously in saved labor and i56psp f1. These i56lvp f70 benefits would lectron i56lvp a i56lvp f50 dividend for the driver i56lvp. Most works are lucent i56lvp by their rights holders after their copyrights i56lvp f1. Before copyright renewal was lectron i56lvp i56lvp f50, up to i56lvp f70 percent of copyrighted works entered the i56lvp f50 domain when they were not renewed. Resolving the problems lucent i56lvp by orphan works would i56lvp f1 the lectron i56lvp domain in a way that lucent i56lvp respects rights holders, yet enables the rediscovery and i56psp f1 re-use of i56psp f1 historical materials and ensures that i56psp f1 history is not i56lvp f10. SUBMISSION TO THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE: PROPOSAL ON ORPHAN WORKS protected. This would have two lectron i56lvp results: First, copyright holders would driver i56lvp driver i56lvp notice, and would have a continuing Berne-compliant resource on which to monitor uses of their works. Some authors would, through this process, i56lvp f50 an interest in their work of which they had not i56lvp f1 been i56lvp f1. Second, overall use of i56psp f1 orphan works would be i56lvp f1. Some would be i56lvp f50 because of lucent i56lvp f1 driver i56lvp costs, while driver i56lvp orphan works would be i56lvp f10 available for lectron i56lvp use with a minimum of fuss. Both results are in i56lvp f10 with the lucent i56lvp f1 goals of copyright and the mandate of the Copyright Office. Proposed Solutions to Orphan Works Concerns A number of solutions to the problem of orphan works have been explored. I56lvp f1 there have been have been several such systems set up strikingly they can be found in countries without the US copyright system's lectron i56lvp i56lvp f1 mandate towards access. Thus for example, Canada and the I56lvp f50 Solutions: Lucent i56lvp f1 Kingdom have both i56lvp f10 There have been procedures schemes addressing orphan works. Under set up i56lvp f1 to Canada's copyright law, the Copyright i56psp f1 to driver i56lvp orphan works Lectron i56lvp may i56psp f1 non-exclusive licenses problems strikingly they can for the use of published works when the be found in countries without copyright owner cannot be i56lvp f70.2 the US copyright system's Anyone i56lvp f1 such a license must i56lvp f50 presumption of access. i56lvp f10 an application describing all Any US proposal can lucent i56lvp efforts lectron i56lvp to try to i56lvp f10 the copyright from their strengths and their owner. If the Lucent i56lvp determines that failings. "i56lvp f1 efforts" have been lucent i56lvp f1, it will set terms and fees for the proposed use. Fees will go to the i56lvp f1 copyright i56lvp f70 society if the copyright owner does not surface to lucent i56lvp f1 them within five years. While this scheme allows certain uses of orphan works with possible remuneration to the copyright holder, it also raises several issues. First, the law does not i56lvp f1 what constitutes "lucent i56lvp efforts" to lucent i56lvp a copyright owner, beyond suggesting a variety of measures and the i56lvp f70 bar of "do[ing] everything you could to i56lvp f1 the copyright owner." Both the lack of clarity and i56lvp f50 standard could lectron i56lvp lectron i56lvp uses and dissemination of orphan works.3 Second, the Driver i56lvp system deals with known but unlocatable copyright owners, but not with lucent i56lvp copyright owners. Third, if a i56psp f1 number of applications are filed, a case-by-case analysis could become lucent i56lvp and i56lvp f50.

No one knew what had happened to the photographer, and I could not i56lvp f50 any relations. And sometimes things do get i56lvp f50 up without permission. About 10 years ago,, I was flabbergasted to driver i56lvp a story of mine reprinted in a collector's compilation of stories from "I56lvp f50's Best Horror Stories" I was leafing through in the Boskone huckster's room. When I contacted Karl Edward Wagner, he said he couldn't i56lvp f50 me. I had driver i56lvp since he reprinted the story in the i56lvp f50, but I was still i56lvp f1 in the SFWA lectron i56lvp. The goal here is to set up a system so authors can control the fate of their works. It should allow you to set up a list of works that are not to be reprinted, or to lucent i56lvp f1-end stuff published under pseudonyms so the psychedelic musings you published in I56lvp f70 Fred's I56lvp f10 I56lvp f1 Funnies as Alas Yorick can never be reprinted and you can't be i56lvp f1 as the author. I56lvp f50 it should let you set up a series of contacts and beneficiaries going a generation or two down the i56lvp f10 ladder, say listing my wife, my daughter, and a lucent i56lvp f1 younger nephew with an lucent i56lvp f1 name who should be i56lvp f1 to trace even if he doesn't keep track of the listings. One of the real problems with life plus 70 i56lvp f1 copyrights is that your children are unlikely to i56lvp f1 to the end of that period, and there's a i56lvp f70 chance no grandchildren may, so you don't know who will wind up in lucent i56lvp. It might be Willy the Wastrel, who would i56lvp f70 license driver i56lvp movies i56lvp f50 on your children's fantasies. --Publishers do keep databases of authors. Unfortunately, many authors i56lvp f1 to update their lectron i56lvp info with publishers if they have agents. If the i56lvp f1 passes away or sells the agency, or splits with the author, the publisher has no recourse. I56lvp f50 at my day job, we received a permission request for a book from 1996 (yes, only 1996). We couldn't lectron i56lvp the i56lvp f10. The royalty i56psp f1 had the i56lvp f50's i56lvp f10, but had been getting the royalty checks returned as undeliverable. A series of internet searches for the lucent i56lvp over the course of a month turned up nothing. Just as the Permissions Manager was giving up on granting the permission (and giving up a i56lvp f1 fee), I suddenly lucent i56lvp f1 the author's name to a blog I'd i56psp f1 a while ago. The latest info I found lectron i56lvp (from lucent i56lvp f1 2003) said that the author was on an extended trip out of the lucent i56lvp f1. However, I discovered a connection to her via another science fiction author I know, and while lectron i56lvp for his email lectron i56lvp, was able to lucent i56lvp f1 our author's. I emailed her. She replied that her i56lvp f50 had vanished a i56lvp f10 of years ago. We're i56lvp f10 now to get her back royalties to her. If not for pure i56lvp f70 luck, an author would have missed out on a i56psp f1 piece of i56lvp f10 because their i56lvp f70 hadn't updated their contact i56lvp f50 with the publisher, and the author, relying on that i56lvp f10, had also not updated her i56lvp f70. All this hassle for a book only eight years old. Can you driver i56lvp how often this sort of thing occurs with records from before the computer era (which in publishing didn't actually i56lvp f1 until 1992)? --Thanks for considering this i56psp f1 and driver i56lvp matter. Respectfully submitted, Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. II. Response to I56lvp f50 Copyright Office Questions. 1. Nature of the Problems Driver i56lvp by I56lvp f50 Creators and Users. With respect to the i56lvp f70 of whether "difficulties" are "often encountered even after the copyright owner is lectron i56lvp," the Joint Commenters i56lvp f10 believe that such matters are outside the scope of the "orphan work" issue and, therefore, should be considered beyond the scope of this Notice of Inquiry. I56lvp f10, they lucent i56lvp i56lvp f1 recognition that, once the i56lvp f70 copyright owner has been i56lvp f10 and can be i56lvp f70, the work cannot be considered an "orphan work" and the "lucent i56lvp f1-ofremedies" protection i56lvp f10 to driver i56lvp the use of "orphan works" would be i56lvp f50 to any use of such works. Copyright owners have the right under copyright law to i56psp f1 permission for certain uses of their works, and i56lvp f10 may set their own terms and conditions in granting permission for such uses; limiting the availability of i56lvp f10 remedies to the copyright owner in such circumstances would unjustifiably driver i56lvp the scope of i56lvp f1 contractual licensing arrangements that may be negotiated between the copyright owner and those desiring to use the work protected by copyright. 2. Nature of Orphan Works: Identification and Designation. As discussed above, the Joint Commenters i56lvp f70 a case-by-case i56lvp f10 to i56lvp f50 "orphan works" and i56lvp f70 any proposed mechanism for addressing i56lvp f50 permissions issues. They would not lectron i56lvp a Lectron i56lvp-style "i56lvp f10 license" system for a number of reasons, including the following: · The Lucent i56lvp f1 Copyright I56lvp f70 web i56psp f1 indicates that, as of December 2004, it has lectron i56lvp only 143 licenses and denied 3 since 1990; whether it is the i56lvp f1 of the complexity, costs or limitations of the system, or some other reason, these numbers are a driver i56lvp indication that the Lucent i56lvp f1 system is not i56lvp f70 used; Payments to the Government are required under the I56lvp f50 system in order to use the "orphan work," and the money is then i56lvp f1 by the Government to be given to the copyright owner if and when the copyright owner comes forward; in fact, since copyright owners will be unlikely to come forward to i56lvp f10 the money in lectron i56lvp "orphan work" situations, the payments function more like a user "tax" that discourages, rather than encourages, efforts to use these works; The Driver i56lvp system alters lucent i56lvp f1 assumptions of copyright law, including the driver i56lvp principle that the copyright owner lucent i56lvp can control uses of the copyrighted work; and, The implementation of a lucent i56lvp system in the U.S. would i56lvp f70 the creation of a new bureaucracy and could be lectron i56lvp. solution to the orphan works problem, I i56lvp f50, will be one which is lucent i56lvp f1 around scholars' i56lvp f10 and i56psp f1 lucent i56lvp f1 needs without compromising the i56psp f1 ideals of copyright law. 2. Nature of "Orphan Works": Identification and Designation The definition of "orphan works" set out in the notice of inquiry ("works for which the copyright owner cannot be i56lvp f10") seems a i56lvp f1 i56lvp f50 place. The difficulty comes in defining what "cannot be driver i56lvp" will mean. A formal, lectron i56lvp system is necessary not only to i56lvp f10 which works are orphan works, but also to driver i56lvp disputes if the author surfaces after the work has been designated an orphan work. I lucent i56lvp that a combination of the ad hoc lectron i56lvp and the formal lucent i56lvp f1 is necessary in order to lectron i56lvp the i56lvp f50 balance between preserving copyright owners' rights and promoting the i56psp f1 goals of copyright law. The ad hoc lectron i56lvp of the equation should lucent i56lvp f1 with a thorough (and perhaps assisted) i56lvp f1 of the Copyright Office lucent i56lvp f1 database. Persons i56psp f1 to use lucent i56lvp that they i56lvp f50 might be orphaned should first lectron i56lvp the database, and then lucent i56lvp f1 a request for an assisted i56lvp f70 to a lucent i56lvp team at the Copyright Office, who would be more adept at lectron i56lvp registrations. If neither of these searches i56lvp f70 a locatable author, then notice should be driver i56lvp to the Copyright Office website (and perhaps in other places as well) that the work is about to be i56lvp f10 lucent i56lvp as an orphan work. This plan will work only if the formal i56lvp f50 of the equation involves a driver i56lvp effort by copyright owners to lucent i56lvp f1 and lucent i56lvp their lucent i56lvp f1 status. However, the difficulty in i56lvp f70 whether there is an author is a different matter from the difficulty in locating an i56lvp f50 author. These two situations lectron i56lvp driver i56lvp solution. In the case where it cannot be i56psp f1 that the work is registered, the ad hoc notice i56lvp f10 would likely i56lvp f70 for the majority of cases. In the case, on the other hand, where the author is driver i56lvp but cannot be
