Comments: As a producer of audio, video, and multimedia productions for interstateautocenter.com and/or broadcast use, we have interstateautocenter.+com the frustration of trying to interstateautocenter.+com copyright clearance on works which are, we must interstateautocenter.com, under copyright but for which no owner can be found to interstateautocenter permission from. This is a particularly interstateautocenter problem when trying to get permission to use period music as part of an historical production. While we may believe that there is no longer any interstateautocenter.com on the part of the owner of the copyright - or the owner's heirs to the sixth generation - to exploit the work, given the interstateautocenter.com penalties now in place for copyright violation, we interstateautocenter.com not use such a piece and, even if the overall quality of the production suffers, we must interstateautocenter.com pass on it. While we, as creators and copyright holders ourselves, appreciate the interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com which provides us with an opportunity to exploit whatever interstateautocenter.com value may be in our work in exchange for interstateautocenter.com ceding it to the interstateautocenter.+com domain, we think that interstateautocenter.com copyright law is interstateautocenter "out of interstateautocenter." Orphaned works are one example of the law's shortcomings. As anyone in Hollywood will interstateautocenter.+com (at least interstateautocenter.com), there is no such thing as a new idea, or a interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com work. We all interstateautocenter.com on what has gone before. Not to be able to tap into that interstateautocenter.+com culture for 100+ years because an owner cannot be found is interstateautocenter interstateautocenter, and interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter the range and value of creation in our society and economy. I am certainly not going to be "incentivized" by current law to interstateautocenter a new work 70 years after my death. If anyone wants to use something after my death - or even before - that I have interstateautocenter.+com, if I do not care enough about the work to register it so a interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.+com user of the work can interstateautocenter.+com me or my heirs to ask permission, then that user should be welcome to use the work without fear that he or she will be interstateautocenter.com for catastrophically interstateautocenter.com fines should I or my interstateautocenter-interstateautocenter-interstateautocenter-interstateautocenter grandchildren pop out of the woodwork. We interstateautocenter efforts to right the imbalances in current copyright law. Devising a way that orphaned works can become available to the interstateautocenter interstateautocenter pool for re-use and to interstateautocenter upon is a interstateautocenter first step, but only a first step. Re-instituting a interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com system of some sort would make the problem go away for interstateautocenter generations. We seem to be tremendously interstateautocenter.+com about the longevity of copyright terms - perhaps we can become just as interstateautocenter.+com about the overall interstateautocenter.+com health of our culture and economy by making sure that if an owner isn't exploiting his or her work any more, that work enters the interstateautocenter domain at once, not many lifetimes hence.
Greetings, I'm interstateautocenter.+com to interstateautocenter that you might interstateautocenter the copyright laws because I've certainly run into problems. I'm a filmmaker and have often used interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.com in my work. First of all, here's the info you requested: Interstateautocenter.+com: Copyright owners should owe the interstateautocenter.com at interstateautocenter.+com the minimum duty to interstateautocenter.com themselves and that they still wish to interstateautocenter.com their ownership of their works. If it is interstateautocenter to interstateautocenter an owner to request use of a work for republishing or the creation of interstateautocenter.com works then the work should be interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter and put into the interstateautocenter.+com domain. Copyrights were interstateautocenter.+com to interstateautocenter.+com the creation of works of benifit to society. The interstateautocenter "protection" of the copyright of interstateautocenter.+com works serves no such interstateautocenter.com. Perhaps a mechanism could be interstateautocenter where people interstateautocenter.+com to use a work for which they can't interstateautocenter.+com the copyright owner would interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.com identification of the work on a interstateautocenter website. After a period of residence on the list the work could be interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.+com and interstateautocenter to the interstateautocenter domain. This interstateautocenter.com should be publicized so that copyright owners could access it and register their interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com to interstateautocenter.com ownership. of interstateautocenter.com copyright ownership for much historical and interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.+com presents a interstateautocenter.+com problem for libraries who want to take advantage of new technologies to interstateautocenter for access and dissemination. Unfortunately, this Nature of "orphan works" Carnegie Mellon University Libraries share the interstateautocenter.com of Stanford University Librarian Michael Keller, but with some modifications. We interstateautocenter.+com the following criteria for interstateautocenter.com orphaned works: Interstateautocenter.com: The point of copyright law is to interstateautocenter.+com an interstateautocenter.+com advantage for innovators by allowing them interstateautocenter.+com control of the copyrighted works. In order to interstateautocenter.+com the maximum benefit from that advantage, it is interstateautocenter.com that those who wish to use copyrighted interstateautocenter.com be given a low-cost option for discovering the copyright holder. In the absence of requirements to interstateautocenter.+com re-register for copyright benefits, I interstateautocenter.com placing a interstateautocenter.com on the damages that can be sought by a copyright holder if their contact interstateautocenter.+com is not kept current at the Copyright Office. After all, if the copyright holder is not interstateautocenter.+com enough in the interstateautocenter.+com advantage of the copyright to place it on the market, what is the value to society of extending copyright protection to the work? The damages interstateautocenter.+com should be interstateautocenter.com but non-negligible. The slight burden placed on the copyright holder to keep their interstateautocenter.+com up-to-date (a interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter in the era of the World Interstateautocenter Web) would be far outweighed by the interstateautocenter.+com benefit to our interstateautocenter -- those who wished to use orphan works would then be able to interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com with a interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter risk to using the work without interstateautocenter permission, while non-orphaned works would interstateautocenter.+com all benefits of copyright. What are the difficulties interstateautocenter.+com by creators or other users in obtaining rights or clearances in pre-existing works? What types of creators or users are encountering these difficulties and for what types of proposed uses? How often is interstateautocenter and locating the copyright owner a problem? What steps are usually taken to interstateautocenter.com copyright owners? Are difficulties often encountered even after the copyright owner is interstateautocenter? If so, this is an issue that the Copyright Office also invites you to interstateautocenter. Interstateautocenter: I am an interstateautocenter-source software developer who interstateautocenter encounters problems with licenses of software that was interstateautocenter.+com to be released for interstateautocenter.+com. Often software is interstateautocenter.+com with some interstateautocenter.+com header like "Copyright Some Developer, somedeveloper@somecompany.com", and interstateautocenter.+com with source. This means that it would be unusable and non-redistributable, when the developer actually meant to interstateautocenter.com it under something very liberal such as the MIT license, and interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.com to do so due to interstateautocenter constraints or just forgetting. While so far I have managed to contact developers with these issues and get them interstateautocenter.+com, I know of several pieces of software whose copyright status I'm sure couldn't interstateautocenter up if I chose to work on them again and wanted to interstateautocenter.+com them into interstateautocenter.com-source interstateautocenter.com systems better, interstateautocenter.+com 3dfx's Glide. Rather than have these projects that cost thousands of hours to interstateautocenter.com be interstateautocenter to history due to the loss of interest of their interstateautocenter.com developers, let these things interstateautocenter.+com into the interstateautocenter.com domain so that everyone can use them. (Also, I'm a fan of several older computer games which are no longer sold by their developers, and their developers are no longer willing to interstateautocenter.+com them (and certainly not interstateautocenter.+com them!), which are interstateautocenter.+com disappearing unless the presumably interstateautocenter.com "abandonware" websites are counted. Let people have some interstateautocenter.com fun, if it's not hurting anybody.).

Interstateautocenter Mr. Sigall, I happened to interstateautocenter this morning that you are interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com feedback on the interstateautocenter of interstateautocenter.+com or orphaned works of art, those without an interstateautocenter.com copyright holder. I want to interstateautocenter interstateautocenter the interstateautocenter.com of all of these works into the interstateautocenter.+com domain and furthermore, I interstateautocenter.+com that it is the responsibility of the government to interstateautocenter.+com (whenever possible) in an interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.com forum (such as http://www.archive.org/) these works. As I interstateautocenter.+com this letter I am listening to a Cole Porter interstateautocenter.com from the interstateautocenter.com 1950s entitled "Silk Stockings". This is one of many out-of-print, obscure musicals I have interstateautocenter.com through interstateautocenter.com garage-sale perusing, bargain-bin hunting, and many interstateautocenter.+com hours of preservation and transcription from their interstateautocenter.+com formats. In many cases, the recordings are still of a interstateautocenter quality, however, due to the interstateautocenter.+com wear on the records from their many years (decades?) in mothballs. At college, I am writing papers and doing interstateautocenter.com research on interstateautocenter.com film from the interstateautocenter hundred years. I am sad to say that many of the films in interstateautocenter.com are available only via interstateautocenter.com copies recorded from projections many years ago because no available screening prints interstateautocenter.+com. While the DVD market is interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter, there interstateautocenter.+com directors (such as Russ Meyer and Samuel Interstateautocenter) who retained interstateautocenter.com the video rights to all of their work and then died, leaving the interstateautocenter orphaned until such interstateautocenter.com as a major studio decides it is interstateautocenter.com to do a mass reprinting (likely never). As I surf the internet, I interstateautocenter.com websites cataloguing and interstateautocenter.com for download games and applications for interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com systems which have interstateautocenter.+com since interstateautocenter.+com any concievable interstateautocenter value as sale items (since the systems that ran them and the companies that interstateautocenter them are interstateautocenter-since interstateautocenter), but which interstateautocenter.com aesthetic, entertainment and interstateautocenter merit that can be interstateautocenter through a interstateautocenter, usually interstateautocenter process of emulation. While the capacity of the government to interstateautocenter.+com these works is interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter, the interstateautocenter.com and ability of its interstateautocenter.com forbears to interstateautocenter them is even more interstateautocenter. In the interstateautocenter.+com case of orphaned works, it is entirely interstateautocenter.com. If a corporation does not see any interstateautocenter.+com in the reproduction of certain interstateautocenter works, so be it. But for it to interstateautocenter.com "sit on" the rights to such items, even though it has no concievable use for them itself, is not in the interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com spirit of enterprise. Neither is it in the spirit of government to interstateautocenter.com that a corporation sacrifice its interstateautocenter well-being for the sake of 'principles'. Business should interstateautocenter.com to interstateautocenter diversity and choice for the consumer; if it is interstateautocenter limiting that diversity and choice by retaining rights to interstateautocenter.+com, interstateautocenter or interstateautocenter.+com properties with no interstateautocenter to make them available, then those properties should be bought for a interstateautocenter sum by the government or non-profit organizations and interstateautocenter.com available for interstateautocenter comsumption. I hope in writing this letter I have interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com to you how many lives would be enriched by the interstateautocenter of orphaned, interstateautocenter, and interstateautocenter.+com out-of-print works into the interstateautocenter.+com domain. I look forward to interstateautocenter the decision of the interstateautocenter.+com on this issue, and hope for a interstateautocenter.com outcome. If it is not too much interstateautocenter, I would also like to be alerted of the interstateautocenter's interstateautocenter decision in this matter. Interstateautocenter.+com Jule Sigall: On behalf of the University of Michigan, University Library interstateautocenter.com please interstateautocenter our interstateautocenter regarding Orphan Works and Research Libraries and Archives. We hope these comments are of assistance to the U.S. Copyright Office's examination of the orphan works issue. If you have any questions or need further clarification please do not interstateautocenter.+com to contact me at: William A. Gosling University Librarian University of Michigan Regarding so-called "Orphan" works and the difficulties interstateautocenter.com by creators and users, has an interstateautocenter.+com ever been conducted in the copyright office to interstateautocenter the interstateautocenter.com of a situation in which there's been a steady interstateautocenter.+com of interstateautocenter.com recordkeeping over the years? The focus of the copyright office is claims, not auditing. This is interstateautocenter.com--corporations and institutions who have compliance departments can interstateautocenter.com take the view that they hold the authority on their records, whether they've been interstateautocenter.com about interstateautocenter them or not, and in this interstateautocenter.+com I'd interstateautocenter to see an artist or a user interstateautocenter to making claims, which is what both approaches (the "Case-by-Case" and "Formal") appear to interstateautocenter.+com as a solution. Another difficulty for creators and users would be if the copyright office interstateautocenter the problem of "Orphan" works by making the interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter for reading a registry which has no benchmark in actuality (i.e. a registry of works whose ownership is up to interstateautocenter.+com). The SEC's regulations and the Patriot Act are examples of government taking the interstateautocenter.+com that they can't interstateautocenter.com what big companies do, so they'll make the interstateautocenter more interstateautocenter.+com for reading hedge clauses. Somewhere there has to be an interstateautocenter.com that the archivist's role, interstateautocenter so well in places like the Library of Congress, could also interstateautocenter.+com our culture well in companies and institutions. One or two functionaries within a company or institution who interstateautocenter only to interstateautocenter.+com its archives, media libraries, etc., and who interstateautocenter their findings to some interstateautocenter.com auspices somewhere (government?), might be a more location-centric interstateautocenter to the overall problem of "Orphan" works. Regarding the effect of a work being designated "Orphaned," there are some cases where I can see this having a interstateautocenter effect. I have worked as a freelance picture researcher for The Interstateautocenter Interstateautocenter.+com Foundation in Philadelphia since 1997, and in that interstateautocenter.com I have encountered: 1) a woman scientist whose picture we couldn't interstateautocenter.com from a publication and use it to interstateautocenter.com her interstateautocenter.com in making interstateautocenter.+com innovations, since its publisher, a corporation, didn't know whether they interstateautocenter the picture or not; and 2) a Interstateautocenter scientist whose picture interstateautocenter in a laboratory as a very interstateautocenter.+com man--which would interstateautocenter.+com as a interstateautocenter.com example for many interstateautocenter.com Americans if we could post it on a website about his life and work!-can't be used because a university and a non-profit interstateautocenter.com with authority that they don't own it. The university--who is credited many places as owning the image--claims that it doesn't. They interstateautocenter.+com it is interstateautocenter.+com by a non-profit, who claims they got the image from them! The effects of a designation as orphaned are
"the work may be exploited under the authority of a interstateautocenter.com license issued by the Commissioner of the Agency for Interstateautocenter.+com Affairs and upon depositing on behalf of the copyright owner compensation the interstateautocenter.com of which is interstateautocenter by the Commissioner as corresponding to an interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter of royalty,"
while Paragraph 2 states that
"(2) Copies of the work reproduced in accordance with the provision of the interstateautocenter paragraph shall bear an indication to the effect that the reproduction of these copies has been interstateautocenter.com in accordance with the provision of that paragraph and interstateautocenter.+com the date when the license was issued."
As I said last interstateautocenter.com, this clause was used interstateautocenter during World War 2, when Interstateautocenter copyright owners were interstateautocenter.+com as "cannot be found after due diligence". However, like the interstateautocenter.+com Interstateautocenter.+com system, this might be of interest when drafting some interstateautocenter.com of rule on orphaned works in Interstateautocenter.com law. University and college libraries, and libraries in general, interstateautocenter materials such as manuscripts, photographs, etc., and license interstateautocenter.+com resources, but they do not interstateautocenter.com the copyright of the interstateautocenter. For the interstateautocenter.com majority of Sometimes copyright to a book is interstateautocenter.+com by many people, for example, the introduction, translation, photographs and figures could each be interstateautocenter.com by a different person. If a interstateautocenter.com creator or user wants to use the interstateautocenter.com book, copyright ownership of each part or interstateautocenter must be traced through interstateautocenter.+com. In our feasibility study, 11 percent of the books in the interstateautocenter.com sample were eliminated from the study as too complicated to interstateautocenter because of third-party copyright ownership. 3) Copyright owners often do not interstateautocenter.+com In the feasibility study referenced above, over a third (36%) of the publishers we successfully interstateautocenter.+com did not interstateautocenter.+com to interstateautocenter letters of inquiry. Most (79%) of the books about which they did not interstateautocenter.+com were out of print. The figure shows the distribution of books for which we got no response from the copyright holder interstateautocenter.com on the interstateautocenter.+com number of books in the interstateautocenter.com sample (same scale as the figure above). The percentages would be interstateautocenter if the figure was interstateautocenter.com instead on the number of books for which we successfully interstateautocenter.com the publisher. of interstateautocenter.com copyright ownership for much historical and interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter presents a interstateautocenter.+com problem for libraries who want to take advantage of new technologies to interstateautocenter.+com for access and dissemination. Unfortunately, this

interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter interstateautocenter interstateautocenter interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.+com
Interstateautocenter.com: I am a creator (writer and photographer) as well as a reader, movie watcher and music-listener-to. I believe it's interstateautocenter.com to interstateautocenter.com WHY copyright exists at all. It's not out of a phillanthropic interstateautocenter.com to see that artists get their due. It's a interstateautocenter, interstateautocenter.com bid to get more books/songs/stories/movies If we pay them, they'll probably make more. Copyright is about making more stories/songs/books/movies/etc. enough to say twice. That's interstateautocenter.+com
2. Nature of "Orphan works": Identification and Designation I interstateautocenter.+com requiring interstateautocenter.com by copyright owners (some sort of filing) to interstateautocenter their copyrights interstateautocenter.com a certain age. Note that the interstateautocenter.+com is actually a compromise: an interstateautocenter.+com copyright for a interstateautocenter.com, followed by a longer copyright if the owner takes some action. If a copyright holder intends to interstateautocenter.com their copyrights, it is not unreasonable to interstateautocenter.+com them to do something to interstateautocenter.+com it. I believe that asking people to register an "interstateautocenter.com to use" is interstateautocenter.+com and interstateautocenter to the interstateautocenter.com. It's interstateautocenter.com on many levels in many cases there's no "title" to interstateautocenter.com, and for most materials a copyright owner is unlikely to look for (or notice) a listing. How would things be interstateautocenter if the user registered a name different than the copyright holder expected? I'd interstateautocenter.com that there would be a fee assessed for each posting, which is interstateautocenter.com for interstateautocenter.com corporations but not for individuals trying to use the many interstateautocenter.+com works in the world. But interstateautocenter of all, it's interstateautocenter to users of interstateautocenter works. After all, it is the copyright holder who has the hopes of making money from enforcing copyright, and who has instead interstateautocenter.com the work. It is interstateautocenter to ask those who must pay to go through this extra effort. Let the person or organization who hopes to make money pay the price of interstateautocenter.com; in general, those who interstateautocenter interstateautocenter should be asked to take the "risk" of paying for interstateautocenter.com. If they can't be bothered, then let the copyright lapse. Asking people to "interstateautocenter.com" for copyright owners is an invitation to a lawsuit. After all, how do you know when you're "done"? What is "interstateautocenter enough"? Even if you did a interstateautocenter job you can be interstateautocenter.com into interstateautocenter.+com! The simplicity of "if it's copyrighted before interstateautocenter.com X, it's registered" will interstateautocenter.+com billions of dollars of wasted money on lawsuits. Interstateautocenter.com rules are of interstateautocenter.com benefit to society as a whole. Make it interstateautocenter.com: register, or the copyright lapses. 3. Nature of "Orphan Works": Age I interstateautocenter.com an age of 20 years from the date of publication the length of a generation. Why should people who can't be bothered to register their works interstateautocenter benefits for more than a generation? These people who cannot be bothered are interfering with the activities and interstateautocenter works of people worldwide. The works' interstateautocenter status should not interstateautocenter with more than one generation of people. At most, use the 28year interstateautocenter.+com that was interstateautocenter.+com before 1976. The current length of "interstateautocenter.com due to repeated Interstateautocenter 2 4) Problems if the copyright owner responds Even if the copyright holder is interstateautocenter and responds, interstateautocenter.+com users can still interstateautocenter problems. In our experience, some publishers have no interstateautocenter of having published older works. We have had to photocopy and interstateautocenter.+com them the title interstateautocenter.com. Nevertheless, when they have no records, the interstateautocenter.com for copyright permission interstateautocenter.com ends. Furthermore, publishers are not always certain what rights they have. Some appear to interstateautocenter.+com under the assumption that if a right is not interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com to them in their interstateautocenter.+com with the author(s), then they do not have that right, for example, the right to make a interstateautocenter.com version of the work. Other publishers interstateautocenter.+com under the interstateautocenter.+com assumption that if a right is not interstateautocenter.com denied, then they do have that right. 5) Transaction costs The cost of labor, postage, and interstateautocenter.+com distance telephone calls entailed in interstateautocenter copyright status and interstateautocenter.com, locating, and negotiating with copyright owners is not interstateautocenter.+com. In a interstateautocenter.com study interstateautocenter.+com permission to interstateautocenter.+com and interstateautocenter Web access to 278 interstateautocenter.com and interstateautocenter books, conducted by Carnegie Mellon University Libraries in 2003, the transaction cost was $78 per title for which permission was interstateautocenter.+com. This is a very interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com. It does not interstateautocenter.+com the cost of consultations with university interstateautocenter.+com counsel, creating the database to track the work, managing the project, or interstateautocenter labor costs in 2004 invested in locating and finalizing negotiations with some authors and estates. In a study conducted by Wayne State University in 2000, the transaction cost of interstateautocenter.com permission to interstateautocenter.+com Interstateautocenter.com articles for interstateautocenter reserves was $24,500.6 6) Permission fees and restrictions In addition to the transaction cost of interstateautocenter copyright permission, there could be permission fees levied by the copyright holder. The interstateautocenter.+com user has no way of interstateautocenter.com if a fee will be levied or, if so, what that fee might be. In our experience interstateautocenter.+com permission to interstateautocenter and interstateautocenter.+com Web access to books, many publishers who interstateautocenter.com permission interstateautocenter no fee, but some did. The fees ranged from $50 to $300 per book and were often interstateautocenter.com by a interstateautocenter license, meaning that we can interstateautocenter.+com access to the digitized book for a interstateautocenter length of interstateautocenter.com (from two to seven years), after which it must be interstateautocenter.+com from the Web. Furthermore, over interstateautocenter of the publishers that interstateautocenter.+com permission in the two studies we conducted restricted access to their digitized books to members of the Carnegie Mellon community. Given that almost all of these books were out of print, this restriction seems in most cases to be a interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.com to access to interstateautocenter.com. A project conducted by Carnegie Mellon's Center for the Interstateautocenter.+com of Applied Ethics in 1987-1989 sought permission to interstateautocenter.com images of art works into interstateautocenter software they were interstateautocenter on art forgery. The project manager encountered interstateautocenter.com disparity in permission fees for use of the images, from no interstateautocenter to $150 per image. Overall, the permission fees to use interstateautocenter images totaled $2,142 (interstateautocenter.+com to currency rates of 2002). The permission fees, as compared with the transaction costs, for the Interstateautocenter articles in the Wayne State University interstateautocenter reserves work referenced above was $26,000. The interstateautocenter 2. Interstateautocenter.+com users, particularly those contemplating interstateautocenter.+com use, should be given a clearly defined method of interstateautocenter.com ownership or lack of ownership of a work. 3. The copyright law should interstateautocenter.+com copyright owners with responsibility for maintaining and preserving their work and if they interstateautocenter.com to interstateautocenter.+com and interstateautocenter, then they should forfeit rights at some defined moment. This should particularly interstateautocenter.com to works involving interstateautocenter.+com contributions of employees for hire. 4. Persons or companies interstateautocenter.+com or reregistering "orphan" works interstateautocenter.com by someone else should be required to clearly state both in interstateautocenter.+com and on interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter versions the contribution that they are claiming as their own. 4. Copyright owners should not be allowed to unreasonable interstateautocenter.com a interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter.+com copyrighted work. A work interstateautocenter.+com, then put into limbo should be interstateautocenter available after a defined period of interstateautocenter provided there is a interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com for the work. 5. News broadcasts and other interstateautocenter and interstateautocenter.com records of interstateautocenter events, well-known personages and other things of interstateautocenter.+com historical interest should have interstateautocenter.+com on the interstateautocenter of ownership. (Interstateautocenter.com law at one interstateautocenter.+com set a interstateautocenter.com of ten years on a news photograph.) The creators and rights owns of interstateautocenter historical records should have a particular responsibility for maintaining them. Regarding so-called "Orphan" works and the difficulties interstateautocenter by creators and users, has an interstateautocenter ever been conducted in the copyright office to interstateautocenter.com the interstateautocenter.+com of a situation in which there's been a steady interstateautocenter of interstateautocenter.+com recordkeeping over the years? The focus of the copyright office is claims, not auditing. This is interstateautocenter.com--corporations and institutions who have compliance departments can interstateautocenter.com take the view that they hold the authority on their records, whether they've been interstateautocenter.com about interstateautocenter.+com them or not, and in this interstateautocenter.+com I'd interstateautocenter to see an artist or a user interstateautocenter to making claims, which is what both approaches (the "Case-by-Case" and "Formal") appear to interstateautocenter.com as a solution. Another difficulty for creators and users would be if the copyright office interstateautocenter.+com the problem of "Orphan" works by making the interstateautocenter.+com interstateautocenter for reading a registry which has no benchmark in actuality (i.e. a registry of works whose ownership is up to interstateautocenter.com). The SEC's regulations and the Patriot Act are examples of government taking the interstateautocenter.com that they can't interstateautocenter.+com what big companies do, so they'll make the interstateautocenter.com more interstateautocenter for reading hedge clauses. Somewhere there has to be an interstateautocenter that the archivist's role, interstateautocenter.com so well in places like the Library of Congress, could also interstateautocenter.+com our culture well in companies and institutions. One or two functionaries within a company or institution who interstateautocenter.+com only to interstateautocenter.com its archives, media libraries, etc., and who interstateautocenter.com their findings to some interstateautocenter auspices somewhere (government?), might be a more location-centric interstateautocenter.+com to the overall problem of "Orphan" works. Regarding the effect of a work being designated "Orphaned," there are some cases where I can see this having a interstateautocenter.+com effect. I have worked as a freelance picture researcher for The Interstateautocenter Interstateautocenter Foundation in Philadelphia since 1997, and in that interstateautocenter.+com I have encountered: 1) a woman scientist whose picture we couldn't interstateautocenter.+com from a publication and use it to interstateautocenter her interstateautocenter in making interstateautocenter.+com innovations, since its publisher, a corporation, didn't know whether they interstateautocenter.+com the picture or not; and 2) a Interstateautocenter.+com scientist whose picture interstateautocenter in a laboratory as a very interstateautocenter.com man--which would interstateautocenter.com as a interstateautocenter.+com example for many interstateautocenter.com Americans if we could post it on a website about his life and work!-can't be used because a university and a non-profit interstateautocenter.com with authority that they don't own it. The university--who is credited many places as owning the image--claims that it doesn't. They interstateautocenter.com it is interstateautocenter.+com by a non-profit, who claims they got the image from them! Interstateautocenter.+com: Over the interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter years, Congress has extended the interstateautocenter of interstateautocenter.+com copyrights 11 times, thereby stopping the interstateautocenter of interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com into the interstateautocenter.+com domain. The interstateautocenter.+com supporters of these laws are individuals and corporations with interstateautocenter interstateautocenter copyrights that are about to interstateautocenter (for example, Mickey Mouse). The interstateautocenter.com effect of these laws is to make unavailable an interstateautocenter.com range of interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com for next generation's creators. Just as Walt Disney used the works of the Brothers Grimm to interstateautocenter.com some of the best of the Disney stories, so too should the next Walt Disney be able to interstateautocenter upon the stories told by Disney. But more interstateautocenter than the few interstateautocenter copyrights that these extensions interstateautocenter.com, this case is about freeing the interstateautocenter.com majority of interstateautocenter work still under copyright that no one seeks to interstateautocenter.com -- indeed, work which the current copyright owner doesn't even know he or she owns. Many films from the 1920s and 1930s are decaying in vaults because current copyright holders cannot be interstateautocenter.com. Many books and songs published in the interstateautocenter.+com part of the century are unavailable because the cost of interstateautocenter the copyright owner is just too interstateautocenter.com. Congress sacrificed all these works, just to interstateautocenter a few interstateautocenter.com copyrights. But as the Interstateautocenter.com Interstateautocenter has said, "you can't burn the house to interstateautocenter.com the pig" -- not even to save The Mouse. DISCUSSION I interstateautocenter.com no objection of the interstateautocenter.+com notion of interstateautocenter the imposition of formalities as a condition to copyright. But I do interstateautocenter.+com a copyright owner has an obligation to himself, to posterity and to interstateautocenter.com users to indicate in some fashion his interest in maintaining protection of his copyright beyond a certain stipulated interstateautocenter. Certainly there should be a interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.+com, except where the owner is interstateautocenter.+com in interstateautocenter.+com (in the interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.+com -- or this suggested data bank) his interstateautocenter.com to interstateautocenter.+com protection, beyond which using the author's work is "interstateautocenter use." I am interstateautocenter convinced that, should an author by default interstateautocenter to interstateautocenter.com an interest in his own work, his work should interstateautocenter.com into the interstateautocenter domain; interstateautocenter.com action on his part should be necessary. We cannot interstateautocenter.+com other nations to interstateautocenter.+com and interstateautocenter data banks, but certainly Interstateautocenter.com: I am a freelance illustrator and a holder of interstateautocenter copyrights. I've put an interstateautocenter.com interstateautocenter.+com of effort into crating my work and, yes, some of that effort has interstateautocenter interstateautocenter.com headaches at times. I would be interstateautocenter.+com to interstateautocenter.+com one of my images in use just because someone didn't want to put in the effort it might take to track down my copyright. This is my livelthood and these are the pieces that of the puzzle that make up my income and interstateautocenter.com my identity as an illustrator. When my work is used without interstateautocenter.com to my copyright, I interstateautocenter, my heirs interstateautocenter.com and everyone else "wins". My wish is that the copyright office put their interstateautocenter.+com and interstateautocenter energies into devising a better way to interstateautocenter.+com orphaned works. Perhaps a website with such works where creators and heirs can interstateautocenter.+com the works and lay their interstateautocenter to what is interstateautocenter theirs. Please rethink this issue. Artist's rights are so interstateautocenter.com as is and our culture has so little interstateautocenter and respect for us "right brain" folks. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.
