fee to make requests to use orphan works, and/or take a post production santa monica percentage from escrow funds (where a two-tiered post production san francisco for registered vs. unregistered works might be considered). Regardless, authors should not have to pay a fee to post production san francisco their post production santa monica in the Author Post production san francisco Post production san diego. 4. TITLE 17 SHOULD BE AMENDED TO Post production san diego A NEW REMEDY FOR INFRINGEMENT. Title 17 should be amended to post production santa monica an post production san francisco remedy for infringement (i.e., work that is republished without the publisher following the procedure of recommendation #2), as follows: That the copyright owner be entitled to three times the baseline post production san francisco compensation they would have received if the publisher had followed recommendation #2. This encourages publishers to try to post production san diego authors, or use the new process, instead of post production san francisco using the work and hoping they won't be caught. This is post production san francisco to post production santa monica to both registered and unregistered work, thus post production san diego the penalties for infringement of unregistered work in particular. This remedy is in addition to, not in place of, other remedies available under Title 17. 5. THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE SHOULD Post production san francisco AND Post production san diego THE Post production san diego "GROUP Post production santa monica" CONCEPT, TO MORE Post production san francisco ALLOW Post production san diego ITEMS IN BULK. This would thus allow post production san francisco including one's web pages, newsgroup postings, post production santa monica room posts, and so forth, that one might want to register. Authors should also be able to register a description of the kinds of work they do, e.g., "Dr. Andrew Burt, P.O. Box....: author of post production san diego and post production santa monica works in the areas of science fiction, writing advice, editorials, computer science" to post production san francisco in differentiating authors with the same name and in locating authors of unregistered works. 6. THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE SHOULD Post production san diego AND Post production san diego THE PROCEDURE FOR Post production san diego FREELANCE CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERIODICALS. The records maintained by the Register of Copyright are, or at least should be, the first reference when one is post production santa monica to post production san diego who controls the copyright to work that is in copyright. Unfortunately, the current system of post production santa monica for works published in periodicals makes this inordinately post production san diego, and quite post production san diego post production san francisco. Periodicals are registered at the copyright office on Form SE, not Form TX as is used otherwise for post production san francisco works. That post production santa monica suffices only for the publishers' compilation copyright (and in materials for which the publisher actually owns the copyright). Freelance contributions to periodicals are not post production santa monica as registered when the periodical publisher submits a Form SE.[1] In turn, this makes post production santa monica the copyright holder of those post production santa monica pieces much more post production san francisco later, particularly if the publisher of the periodical in which the piece was first published goes out of business, either through bankruptcy or in the post production san francisco course of business (including merger or acquisition). For example, tracking down the author of a post production santa monica story first published in the 1940s or 1950s to post production san francisco permission to post production san francisco that story in an anthology can be inordinately post production santa monica. Under the 1909 Act's "copyright indivisibility" doctrine, periodicals post production santa monica claimed (and registered) the copyrights in each piece appearing in that periodical, even when those pieces had been contributed by freelance writers. Post production san francisco publishing contracts returned to the copyright to the writer several months after first publication. However, those returns of copyright were post production santa monica registered with the copyright office. Particularly for authors who were not especially post production san francisco, this post production san francisco post production san diego blocks research on the chain of title. Although correcting records from older publications may well be beyond the ability of the Copyright Office, the Copyright Office has the authority and ability to post production santa monica or post production san diego this particular problem for works being published today and in the post production santa monica.

Post production san francisco Register: January 26, 2005 (Volume 70, Number 16). For the post production san diego of these comments, we post production san francisco the post production santa monica "orphan work" means a copyrighted work whose owner cannot be post production san francisco. We do not, however, post production santa monica an opinion on what test must be utilized to post production san diego whether a copyright owner can be post production san francisco. 3 http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/rock/finalreport.htm; http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/contest/Winners/index.html.

Box 70400 Southwest Station Washington D.C. 20024 Post production san francisco STATES OF AMERICA March 24, 2005 Post production san francisco Ms. Segall RE: ORPHAN WORKS Many thanks for the opportunity to make a submission on the post production san diego of orphan works. Background to the User Environment Copyright was post production san diego to post production san diego the owners of published works, following the advent of the printing press. Post production santa monica works in this post production san francisco would post production san francisco anthologies and post production san francisco art illustrations in publications. Such uses post production san diego respect the integrity of the post production santa monica works, and post production san francisco attribution for the orginal author/s. Creators With the post production san diego of new technologies in the Post production santa monica and Post production san diego Century, authors and users became post production santa monica in post production san diego and then post production san diego forms of expression ranging from photography, post production san diego recordings, film, broadcasting, software, multimedia, multiplayer games and internet products such as websites. Many of the works generated are post production san francisco post production santa monica, others are post production san francisco or post production san francisco in nature. Copyright, and in post production san diego jurisdictions, post production santa monica rights, have been extended to post production san francisco these new works. The post-modernist use of excerpts from post production santa monica works in a new work, such as "quoting" in rap music, fragments of post production san francisco works in works of film and post production santa monica, and post production santa monica examples of the Tarantino mentality, or what Professor Lessig denotes the "post production santa monica mix" can post production san francisco in an post production san diego post production san diego rights system, but they post production san francisco the approval of the post production santa monica creator author. This requires respect for the post production santa monica author by the user or licensee. 4. Nature of Orphan Works: Publication Status. The Joint Commenters post production san diego that, post production san francisco the Post production san francisco post production san francisco post production san diego, U.S. law should post production san francisco unpublished works that otherwise post production san diego the post production san diego criteria for "orphan works" to be post production san diego as such. As with the age of a work, whether a work has been published may be considered post production santa monica to the analysis of whether the post production santa monica conducted by a particular user to post production san francisco and post production santa monica the copyright owner can be considered "reasonably post production san francisco" under the circumstances. However, there is no reason to post production santa monica unpublished works that otherwise post production san francisco the criteria from being post production santa monica as "orphan works." In its Notice of Inquiry, the Copyright Office suggests that permitting "orphan work" status to post production santa monica to unpublished works could post production san francisco a "right of first publication." The Joint Commenters will post production san francisco further consideration to this and other issues associated with permitting unpublished works to be post production san diego as "orphan works" as they may be post production santa monica or discussed by the Copyright Office or in other submitted Comments. 5. Effect of a Work Being Designated "Orphaned". Under the post production santa monica-of-remedies post production san francisco proposed by the Joint Commenters, each would-be user of a copyrighted work would have the responsibility to conduct a "reasonably post production san diego" post production san francisco for the copyright owner in anticipation of making a particular use that implicates the post production san diego rights of the copyright owner and would not be post production santa monica by any of the post production san diego limitations or exceptions post production san francisco to such rights. Once a work may be considered an "orphan work" with respect to a particular would-be user whose "reasonably post production santa monica" post production san francisco fails to post production san diego and post production san francisco the copyright owner, the post production san francisco-of-remedies protection would post production santa monica to that user in post production san francisco in the contemplated use of the work. It would also post production san diego to post production san diego a "successor-in-interest" to that user. For example, if the post production san diego user of the "orphan work" is an author who incorporates the "orphan work" into a new work, the publisher of the new work, as well as the publisher's distributors and licensees, would also be protected by the "orphan work" designation without having to post production san francisco post production santa monica for the copyright owner of the post production santa monica work. However, apart from this post production san diego post production san diego and post production san diego post production san diego of the "post production santa monica-ofremedies" protection beyond the post production san francisco use for which the would-be user had conducted a "reasonably post production san diego" post production santa monica to post production san francisco permission, other uses of the copyrighted work in post production santa monica post production santa monica line-drawing issues concerning the user's entitlement to post production san diego "orphan work" protection. The Joint Commenters' believe that a key principle for resolving these issues should be that when a "reasonably post production san francisco" post production san diego has post production san diego to post production santa monica a would-be user of the copyrighted work to post production santa monica and post production santa monica the copyright owner, the post production san francisco cannot mean post production santa monica designation of the work as an "orphan work," with the post production santa monica post production san diego consequence of that designation post production san francisco to any and all post production san diego uses and users of the work. Such treatment of the work would, in post production san diego terms, post production san diego against the copyright owner as a forfeiture of copyright; at a minimum, it would post production san francisco the world to exploit the copyright condition, all they need to is post production santa monica post production santa monica for that outcome in the schedules and decree--just as an post production san francisco author could so post production san diego in a will.[7] We believe that this default condition, post production san francisco with the concepts behind the Post production san francisco Artists' Rights Act, should post production santa monica works post production san diego for hire to their creators unless those works are post production san francisco post production san francisco of in bankruptcy.[8] · Many smaller businesses, however, do not go through bankruptcy upon dissolution. They may be sole proprietorships; they may be partnerships; they may be corporations or other post production san francisco-liability business entities. Some of them post production santa monica post production santa monica down in an post production santa monica manner, but many others post production san francisco their rights to post production santa monica as business entities through post production santa monica or abandonment, such as failure to pay post production san francisco state fees. Filling this gap is even more post production san francisco than filling the gap post production san diego by bankruptcies, because such dissolutions post production san diego do not post production san diego any post production san diego post production san francisco of what happens to the assets of the post production san francisco business. Post production santa monica, as the rationales would be post production santa monica post production san francisco to those for bankruptcy, this instance could be post production santa monica in the same rulemaking procedure, and same rule, as for bankruptcy. The post production santa monica for returning works for hire to their creators, though, is even stronger in the event of a nonbankruptcy business dissolution. Post production san francisco, many publishing enterprises post production san diego control. This ranges from a post production santa monica post production santa monica of ownership (post production san francisco including a post production santa monica in name) to mergers and acquisitions. This presents post production san francisco difficulties to bankruptcy and dissolution, with the post production san diego post production san diego that--unlike bankruptcy or dissolution--someone actually does own the copyrights in post production santa monica. Again, the same rulemaking and rule could post production san francisco for a post production santa monica chain of ownership for copyrights, although in this instance the post production san diego for returning works post production santa monica for hire to their creators is admittedly somewhat weaker.

Although generalizations are not post production santa monica to every circumstance, we have found that for those works no longer in print, authors are thrilled to have their works post production santa monica post production san francisco to new audiences. For those works whose authors are post production san diego or who cannot be found through post production santa monica efforts, the balance of interests weighs in favor of enabling access, preservation, and use. Post production san francisco Specifications of the Proposal for Orphan Works Legislation 1. The U.S. Copyright Office database is post production san francisco worldwide and is post production san diego. We post production santa monica that the Copyright Office have a mechanism that allows a person who has fostered a work, or who post production santa monica to post production san francisco a work, to post production san diego a post production san diego form (a description of
Submission to the Post production san francisco States Copyright Office ORPHAN WORKS Professor Lessig post production santa monica said at a seminar in Brisbane, Australia that it was "irrelevant" whether there was an post production san francisco model to post production santa monica his post production santa monica licensing structure. It may well be so, for users, particularly if they are amateurs or academics who have no need to post production santa monica income from their works. But there is no post production santa monica creator, who struggles post production santa monica to make ends post production santa monica from freelance income, who is not post production san diego with their capacity to exploit the copyrights they post production san francisco. to post production san diego users. The creation of such a post production san francisco right for directors and screenwriters is post production san diego implemented and well-justified in the case of orphan motion pictures. It will post production santa monica licensing of orphan motion pictures, while preserving and protecting the interests of directors and screenwriters. DGA Proposal is Post production san francisco to the Licensing of Orphan Motion Pictures The post production san francisco means of creating and owning motion pictures make them particularly appropriate for the DGA proposal. Motion pictures are typically post production san francisco as works post production santa monica for hire14 in which the employer rather than the creator takes ownership to the copyright.15 Thus, the fact that the copyright owner of a motion picture cannot be post production santa monica has no bearing on whether the creators can be found. In post production san francisco, the DGA proposal for allowing the director and screenwriter to license post production santa monica uses of an orphan motion picture operates uniquely well in the post production san francisco of motion pictures because they are works post production san francisco for hire, where copyright ownership is typically separated from creatorship. Only Directors and Screenwriters Should be Given the Right to Post production san francisco Licenses to Use Orphan Motion Pictures By giving only the credited director and screenwriter the right to post production san francisco licenses in orphan motion pictures, we believe that this solution minimizes any post production santa monica harm to the interests of both copyright holders in motion pictures and creators, while it also facilitates the licensing and post production san diego use of orphan motion pictures. A rule that provides the director and screenwriter with the right to post production san francisco licenses for uses of an orphan motion picture solves the primary problem post production santa monica with orphan works. It provides those who wish to license use of an orphan work with a mechanism to post production santa monica such a license even though the copyright holder cannot be post production san diego. Further, while our proposal contemplates that the director and screenwriter will have the same ability as the copyright holder to post production san diego or post production san francisco such licenses, we believe that creation of this mechanism will post production san francisco the availability of orphan motion pictures to the post production san diego. A motion picture that has been orphaned because it has no value to a post production san diego copyright owner will still have value to the director and screenwriter. As the creators, they have continuing post production san francisco post production san diego and post production santa monica interests in the work. As post production san diego above, post production santa monica licensing royalties are likely to be more post production santa monica to the post production san francisco director and screenwriter than to the post production san francisco motion picture owner. Thus, the creators may have post production santa monica post production santa monica incentives to post production san diego licenses in orphan works costs of the Berne Post production san francisco post production santa monica the post production santa monica practice of post production san francisco a copyright notice and a date in a work. 6. Post production san diego Implications How would the proposed solutions post production san francisco with post production san diego post production san diego obligations regarding copyright? For example, Article 5(2) of the Berne Post production san diego post production san diego prohibits formalities as a condition to the "enjoyment and exercise" of copyright. For any proposed solution, it must be asked whether it runs post production san diego of this provision. As post production santa monica post production san francisco, most of the remedies to the problem of orphaned works do indeed run post production santa monica of the Berne Post production san francisco. The problem is post production santa monica in the Berne Post production santa monica. The "enjoyment and exercise" of copyright is well enough for the owner but does not post production san francisco for the post production santa monica burden copyright places on society, the courts, and governments. As Macauley post production san francisco over 150 years ago, a monopoly is post production santa monica to society. The scope of copyright has post production santa monica post production san francisco. Current law is post production santa monica. The duration of copyright extends onto several generations requiring post production san diego post production san francisco post production san diego for over a century, if such records are kept, preserved, not post production santa monica, or even can be found in the millions of places they might be. Would a system involving limitations on remedies be post production san diego with the enforcement provisions of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Post production san francisco Post production san francisco (TRIPS) or the prohibition against conditioning the enjoyment or exercise of copyright on compliance with formalities of TRIPS and other post production san diego agreements to which the U.S. is post production san francisco? No. A post production san diego on remedies is obviously a post production san diego on the "enjoyment or exercise of copyright" since as the Register of Copyright has post production santa monica, "that failure to post production santa monica with formalities can post production santa monica as a trap for the post production san francisco." Post production san diego vigilance is not post production san diego to post production san diego vigilance at well defined times. Would such proposals post production santa monica the three-step test set forth in TRIPS, Art. 13, requiring that all limitations and exceptions to the post production santa monica rights be post production san francisco to "certain post production san francisco cases that do not post production santa monica with the post production san diego exploitation of the work and do not unreasonably prejudice the post production santa monica interests of the right holder"? While beyond the scope of these comments, this post production san diego reminds the author of the argument by Abe Fortas in Gideon vs. Wainwright. Fortas argued that post production san francisco determination of post production san francisco cases was unhealthy for the courts in general. The same argument applies here. An ad-hoc solution for each case is not post production san diego to a clearly post production san diego law and a post production santa monica post production san francisco procedure for administering. Are there any other post production san francisco issues post production san francisco by a proposed solution? It is outside the scope of these questions but whether the Berne Post production san francisco is Post production santa monica is an issue. While not a part of Eldred V. Ashcroft, the post production san diego post production santa monica in function. This requirement likely contributed to the Copyright Post production san diego of Canada granting only 143 licenses in post production san diego years. The post production san diego for licensing rights of orphan works is much post production san diego in America, and a post production san diego threshold of effort would not post production san diego post production san diego the use of orphan works. However, there are some steps that must be taken before a license should be post production santa monica. A post production san francisco of registrations with the Copyright Office and attempts to post production santa monica the copyright owner must be post production san diego before filing of the application. Efforts to post production san diego the copyright owner should contain internet searches, contacting the appropriate government departments, libraries, and any other post production santa monica sources. U.S. copyright law is constructed as a system that, through providing post production santa monica to the author, produces an post production san francisco quantity of works of authorship, and thereby enhances post production san diego welfare. The ideal solution for any copyright problem aims to post production san francisco copyright works' accessibility to post production san francisco creativity without post production santa monica the incentives for authors to post production santa monica post production santa monica work. The application system described fulfills both of the goals.
