Copyright Office Posts Comments Regarding Orphan Works
The Copyright Office has posted the comments it received regarding orphan works—a total of 716 comments! It will take a while for the copyright office to work through these. A number of the submissions are brief, in some cases just a story or example, but a number of the submissions are law review-esque.
The list of submissions is pretty overwhelming, so I identified some comments submitted by IP professors:
Jamie Boyle
Kenneth Crews
Tom Field
Paul Goldstein/Jane Ginsburg
Peter Jazsi
Larry Lessig
Doris Long
Larry Solum
Jennifer Urban
A few other submissions that caught my eye:
Public Knowledge (Mike Godwin)
Google
RIAA
Microsoft
An extremely cursory scan suggests that most of the comments I looked at favored doing something about the problem (as opposed to ignoring it), although the approaches did vary. Perhaps this will give the Copyright Office enough support to propose a new solution.
