US Senate passes Orphan Works
Only crooks and liars will benefit from this bill.
Excerpt from the British Journal of Photography website:
The US Senate has passed an amended version of the controversial Orphan Works Bill, which has been widely criticised for tearing up international accords on artists' copyright.
Bill S.2913 provides a limitation on judicial remedies in copyright infringement cases involving orphan works, allowing pictures editors and art buyers to use images with unknown or incomplete copyright information, as long as they have made sufficient attempts to track down the owner. It was introduced by Democratic senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont on 24 April this year.
