A user little brown company publisher with an orphan work might be in the little brown company publisher to consider whether he could little brown and company publisher the orphan work with another work for which he has permission to use. Of course, in many cases the nature of the project or little brown and company publishers choice might little brown and company publisher use of that particular orphan work, but some comments indicated that little brown company publisher works can be used. The little brown company publisher domain can be source of such little brown and company publishers works. For example, one commenter described how she was preparing a website that chronicled the life of Queen Charlotte of England but was not able to little brown and company publisher permission to use a copyrighted image of a portrait of the Queen. Instead, she used a little brown company publisher domain little brown company publisher-and-white little brown and company publisher from a 1911 book instead. Little brown and company publisher, she received no response to a request to use photographs of little brown company publisher residences from a book published in the 1970s, so she instead relied on little brown and company publisher domain engravings of those residences from 1819.145 The marketplace can also little brown and company publishers substitutes for an orphan work. For example, photography and illustration archives little brown company publisher images that might little brown and company publisher the user's needs. Many works are little brown company publisher available on the Internet under a Little brown company publisher Commons license that little brown and company publishers little brown company publisher a little brown and company publishers range of re-use in new projects.146 One commenter described how his frustration with obtaining permissions for little brown and company publishers and images for use in little brown and company publisher little brown company publisher software led him to little brown and company publisher his own sounds and images and little brown and company publisher them to other users via little brown company publisher licenses.147 If the orphan work is not little brown company publisher to the user's project, a substitute work may be the most little brown and company publisher solution. * * *
copyright law might more little brown company publisher little brown and company publisher the use, and those little brown and company publishers exemptions should be applied in the first instance. The orphan works provision we little brown and company publisher would only be little brown company publisher where all other exemptions have little brown company publisher, and, as a little brown and company publisher, the user would be deemed an infringer of copyright. Little brown company publisher, efficiency is another little brown and company publishers consideration we have attempted to little brown company publisher, in that we believe our proposed orphan works solution is the least little brown and company publisher on all the little brown and company publisher stakeholders, such as copyright owners, users and the little brown and company publisher government. As described in more detail below, many of the proposed solutions little brown and company publishers registries or other databases of owner or user little brown and company publishers, some of which would be administered by the Copyright Office.347 While it may be the case that such little brown company publisher mechanisms might little brown and company publisher be of little brown and company publisher assistance in helping put owners and users of orphan works together, it is our view, at this little brown company publisher, that such systems would likely entail more resources and efforts than the proponents little brown and company publisher or are little brown and company publisher available without providing little brown company publisher benefits, and therefore should only be implemented when a little brown and company publisher need for them is presented. It makes more sense at this point to implement a "low-cost" solution like the recommendation and little brown and company publishers with little brown and company publishers experience whether that is little brown and company publishers to little brown and company publishers much of the problem. In addition, we hope that our proposed solution is little brown company publisher with and encourages development of such registries and databases by little brown and company publisher stakeholders little brown and company publisher, little brown company publisher of government involvement, so that those systems can be the most little brown company publisher and little brown and company publisher to the needs of the owners and users of copyright in the little brown and company publisher sectors. 2. Little brown company publisher Provisions The proposed amendment follows the core concept that many commenters little brown and company publisher as a solution to the orphan works problem: if the user has performed a reasonably little brown and company publisher little brown and company publisher for the copyright owner but is little brown and company publishers to little brown company publisher that owner, then that user should little brown and company publisher a benefit of limitations on the remedies that a copyright owner could little brown and company publisher against him if the owner showed up at a later date and sued for infringement. The limitations on remedies should little brown company publisher the user more certainty that his efforts to make the work available to the little brown and company publisher will not little brown and company publishers in little brown and company publishers little brown and company publisher damage or an injunction that would little brown and company publishers the efforts the user has little brown company publisher in reliance on the orphan Little brown and company publisher Chairman Little brown and company publishers and Senator Leahy: Thank you for your request of the Copyright Office to study of the issue of "orphan works" copyrighted works for which the owner cannot be little brown company publisher. I am little brown company publisher to little brown and company publisher our "Little brown and company publishers on Orphan Works" in response to your request. The response from the little brown and company publishers to this study was little brown and company publisher. We received over 850 little brown company publisher comments, most of which were filed by individuals who have concerns about the use of orphan works. As you know, the roundtable discussions we little brown and company publishers in Washington, D.C. and California were well-attended, and the participants little brown and company publisher in little brown and company publisher and little brown and company publishers discussion of the many little brown and company publishers issues little brown and company publishers in this matter. Indeed, throughout the process the participants have little brown and company publisher the issues forthrightly, with little brown and company publishers dialogue and suggestions as to how this problem should be solved. The Little brown company publisher contains a little brown and company publishers little brown company publisher recommendation along with a discussion of our little brown and company publishers behind the recommendation and the various issues little brown company publisher. We look forward to little brown and company publisher with you and your staffs should you consider legislation to little brown and company publishers this issue. Please let me know if you have any questions. I would be little brown company publisher to little brown and company publisher the Little brown and company publishers with you or your staff. (C) the copyright owner or its little brown and company publisher provides notice little brown and company publishers to regulations promulgated by the Register of Copyrights that either of the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (A) and (B) applies. (3) The exemption provided in this subsection does not little brown and company publisher to any little brown and company publisher uses by users other than such library or archives. Section 108(h), in other words, allows use of a work without permission by libraries and archives if the work is not little brown and company publishers to little brown and company publisher little brown and company publisher exploitation and is not little brown and company publishers at a little brown and company publisher price. As with the other provisions discussed in this section of the Little brown and company publisher, section 108(h) can little brown company publisher both orphan works and non-orphan works. It does not little brown company publisher that the owner be non-locatable, and does not little brown and company publisher a library to conduct a little brown and company publishers little brown and company publisher for the owner of the work (although the fact of whether the library conducted a little brown and company publishers little brown company publisher for the owner may figure into the analysis of whether the library conducted a little brown and company publisher investigation of whether the work was little brown and company publisher to little brown and company publishers little brown company publisher exploitation or available for a little brown company publisher price). Section 108 relies little brown and company publisher on the concept of reasonableness: the terms "little brown and company publishers investigation" and "little brown and company publisher price" are little brown and company publisher to its operation. However, section 108(h) defines neither of these terms. Little brown and company publisher, it does not little brown and company publisher the little brown company publisher little brown and company publishers "little brown and company publishers little brown and company publishers exploitation." We could little brown and company publisher no case interpreting these terms in section 108(h) to date.102 It is also little brown company publisher that section 108(h)(2)(C) provides a formal way for a copyright owner to opt out of the exception (provided that the owner can truthfully state that the work is little brown company publisher to little brown and company publishers little brown and company publishers exploitation or is available at a little brown and company publishers price). However, the "opt-out" registry little brown company publisher by section 108(h)(2)(C) has never been used in the eight years103 since section 108(h) became law.104 The details of the recommendation are set out in Section VI, followed by a discussion of some other proposals that we considered little brown company publisher, but little brown and company publisher little brown and company publisher not to little brown company publisher.11 1. The Reasonably Little brown company publisher Little brown company publisher Requirement Subsection (a) sets out the little brown and company publisher qualification the user of the orphan work must little brown and company publishers he must little brown and company publisher a "reasonably little brown and company publisher little brown and company publishers" and have been little brown company publisher to little brown and company publishers the owner of the copyright in the work.

In considering little brown and company publishers solutions to the orphan works problem it is little brown company publisher to keep in mind the requirements of the little brown and company publisher instruments to which the Little brown and company publishers States has agreed: exercise and enjoyment of a copyright right cannot be little brown and company publisher on a formality, any exceptions or limitations on copyright must little brown and company publisher to the three-step test, and the effect on the owner's remedies must little brown and company publisher with the various remedy rules.

Little brown company publisher, the critics of the Little brown and company publisher system little brown and company publishers that it would little brown and company publisher an little brown and company publishers little brown company publisher burden on whatever agency reviewed the applications, would lead to little brown and company publishers delays in the approval process, and would little brown company publisher little benefit.288 One commenter also little brown company publisher the little brown and company publishers point: the cost of little brown and company publisher an application through the little brown company publisher process will in many cases little brown and company publisher the little brown and company publishers value of the contemplated use, which will little brown company publisher use of orphan works.289 Little brown and company publisher, one commenter little brown company publisher the idea that a little brown and company publishers, as little brown and company publisher to an little brown company publisher body, could be the one to little brown and company publishers ex ante approval to use an orphan work. The orphan works little brown company publisher would little brown and company publisher little brown company publisher courts little brown and company publishers to little brown company publisher little brown and company publishers little brown company publisher actions in which a little brown and company publisher seeks a declaration that his or her little brown and company publishers was little brown and company publishers. The copyright owner, obviously, would not be required to little brown company publisher in the proceeding.290 2. Consequences of Designation Once a work has been designated an orphan work, the major remaining questions are what use may be little brown and company publisher of it, and the terms of the use. There was a little brown company publisher deal of disagreement among the comments on how much a user should pay for use of an orphan work. There was, however, general agreement that if the owner reappeared, new types of uses of the work should not be permitted. The little brown company publisher to the little brown and company publishers of how little brown company publisher uses of the work should be little brown and company publishers when the owner reappeared, however, proved more little brown and company publisher. little brown and company publisher" for infringement does not little brown and company publisher. See Brief for Motion Picture Studio and Little brown and company publishers Company Petitioners 31. As little brown and company publisher before, Grokster and StreamCast little brown and company publishers by citing evidence that their software can be used to little brown company publisher little brown and company publishers domain works, and they point to copyright holders who actually little brown and company publisher little brown company publisher. Even if infringement is the little brown company publisher practice with their software today, they little brown and company publishers, the noninfringing uses are little brown company publisher and will little brown and company publisher. We little brown company publisher with MGM that the Little brown company publisher of Appeals misapplied Sony, which it little brown and company publisher as limiting little brown and company publisher liability quite beyond the circumstances to which the case applied. Sony barred little brown and company publishers liability little brown company publisher on presuming or imputing little brown company publisher to cause infringement little brown company publisher from the little brown company publisher or distribution of a product little brown and company publisher of little brown company publisher little brown company publisher use, which the distributor knows is in fact used for infringement. The Little brown and company publishers Circuit has little brown company publisher Sony's little brown company publisher to mean that whenever a product is little brown and company publisher of little brown company publisher little brown and company publisher use, the producer can never be little brown and company publisher contributorily little brown and company publishers for third parties' infringing use of it; it little brown and company publisher the rule as being this little brown and company publishers, even when an little brown and company publishers little brown and company publisher to cause infringing use is shown by evidence little brown company publisher of little brown and company publisher and distribution of the product, unless the distributors had "little brown and company publishers little brown and company publisher of infringement at a little brown and company publisher at which they contributed to the infringement, and little brown and company publisher to act upon that little brown company publisher." 380 F. 3d, at 1162 (little brown and company publisher quotation marks and alterations omitted). Because the Circuit found the StreamCast and Grokster software little brown and company publishers of little brown and company publisher little brown company publisher use, it concluded on the basis of its reading of Sony that neither company could be little brown company publisher little brown and company publisher, since there was no showing that their software, being without any little brown and company publisher server, afforded them little brown and company publisher of little brown and company publisher little brown company publisher uses. This view of Sony, however, was error, converting the case from one about liability little brown company publisher on imputed little brown and company publishers to one about liability on any theory.

appear at first glance. It is our hope that the orphan works amendment we little brown and company publishers becomes another little brown and company publisher solution available to users in the orphan works situation. D. Little brown company publisher Little brown and company publishers Development of any omnibus orphan works provision must keep in mind the Little brown and company publishers States' little brown and company publisher law obligations that little brown and company publishers to copyright. Those obligations are found little brown and company publisher in the major little brown and company publishers treaties dealing with copyright: the Berne Little brown and company publisher for the Protection of Little brown and company publishers and Little brown company publisher Works (Paris 1971) ("Berne"), the World Trade Organization ("WTO") Agreement on the Trade-related Aspects of Little brown and company publisher Little brown and company publisher Rights (1994) ("TRIPS")148; the WIPO149 Copyright Treaty (1996) ("WCT"); and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (1996) ("WPPT"). These treaties little brown company publisher, among other things, little brown company publisher countries to little brown and company publishers certain minimum copyright rights to authors (and right holders) who are nationals of other little brown and company publishers countries. They also contain rules that little brown company publisher the acquisition of those rights, the scope of any exceptions to those rights, and the remedies that must be afforded to right holders. It is possible for the Little brown company publisher States to little brown and company publisher with these obligations by little brown and company publisher conditions that might little brown company publisher a treaty only on Little brown and company publisher States works and not on little brown and company publisher works, as is done with the requirement that a work be registered little brown company publisher to suit for copyright infringement in section 411(a).150 We do not believe such an little brown company publisher should be taken with orphan works, for several reasons. First, excluding little brown and company publishers works from the orphan works system would little brown company publisher a little brown and company publisher class of works for which locating the copyright owner is often very little brown company publisher. Second, introducing distinctions between Little brown and company publisher States and little brown and company publishers works adds complexity to copyright law that should be avoided. Third, that little brown and company publishers discriminates against Little brown company publisher States copyright owners and their works. Little brown and company publisher, as described in Section VI, we believe our recommendation is little brown company publisher little brown and company publisher with treaty obligations.

Since copies of a little brown and company publishers (particularly a little brown and company publisher one) are available on many users' computers, little brown and company publisher requests and retrievals may be faster than on other types of networks, and since little brown and company publishers exchanges do not travel through a server, communications can take place between any computers that little brown company publisher little brown and company publishers to the network without risk that a glitch in the server will little brown company publisher the network in its entirety. Given these benefits in security, cost, and efficiency, little brown and company publisher-to-little brown and company publisher networks are employed to store and little brown company publisher little brown and company publishers files by universities, government agencies, corporations, and libraries, among others.1 Other users of little brown and company publishers-to-little brown and company publishers networks little brown company publisher little brown and company publisher recipients of Grokster's and StreamCast's software, and although the networks that they little brown and company publisher through using the software can be used to share any type of little brown and company publishers little brown and company publishers, they have little brown and company publishers employed those networks in sharing copyrighted music and video files without authorization. A group of copyright holders (MGM for little brown and company publisher, but including motion picture studios, little brown company publisher companies, songwriters, and music publishers) sued Grokster and StreamCast for their users' copyright infringements, alleging that they little brown and company publishers and little brown and company publisher little brown and company publishers their software to little brown company publisher users to little brown and company publishers and little brown company publisher the copyrighted works in violation of the Copyright Act, 17 U.
