Library Copyright Alliance Reply Comments re Orphan Works:
The initial comments showed that there is very little consensus around this issue, and hence little hope of a legislative solution. The Copyright Office should focus on supporting fair use, digitizing its records, and other non-legislative solutions. If legislation is pursued, it should be a simple, flexible limitation on remedies where a judge determines that a reasonably diligent search occurred.
