Everything you need to know about orphan works
Now on our website: Leonard D. DuBoff and Christy O. King's in-depth explanation of the orphan works controversy. If you make art, use art, buy art or just like art, you have to read this.

I understand the concerns about orphan works legislation a lot more after reading the article. My take on it is this: Orphan works are a real problem, but the current copyright reform proposals don't seem fully hatched and neglect the rights of artists and other creators.

Read "Understanding the Orphan Works Controversy," read the New York Times opinion piece, and contact your representative or senator and let them know what you think.
