In an attempt to solve this all-too common problem, the >Copyright Office issued a Notice of Inquiry on January 26, 2005 >(http://www.copyright.gov/fedreg/2005/70fr3739.html) soliciting advice >on the problem of "orphan works" - copyrighted works whose owners are >difficult or even impossible to find. The Notice of Inquiry provides an >important opportunity to those who are interested in using materials >created since 1923 because recent legislation (most notably the Berne >Convention Implementation Act of 1988 and the Sonny Bono Copyright Term >Extension Act of 1998) have made the status of these materials >increasingly ambiguous. > >Action Requested: >An important element to the filings before the Copyright Office on >orphan works will be information concerning the experiences that users >and institutions have faced when seeking permission to use a copyrighted >work. The more information that can be provided concerning difficulties >you have faced in seeking permissions will bolster our arguments about >the need to change the law. > >We would appreciate your input to the following questions prior to >March 16, 2005. Comments are due on the Notice of Inquiry by March 25, >2005.

If possible, please include the type >of work and its intended use (e.g., photograph, book, article, film >clip), the amount of time taken for each search, and whether or not you >were able to obtain permission for use of the work. > >2) How often is identifying and locating the copyright owner a >problem? > >3) Are difficulties often encountered even after the copyright owner is >identified?
