LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Copyright Office
[Docket No. 2012–12]
Orphan Works and Mass Digitization
Copyright Office, Library of
Congress.
ACTION: Notice of inquiry.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Copyright Office is
reviewing the problem of orphan works
under U.S. copyright law in
continuation of its previous work on the
subject and in order to advise Congress
as to possible next steps for the United
States. The Office has long shared the
concern with many in the copyright
community that the uncertainty
surrounding the ownership status of
orphan works does not serve the
objectives of the copyright system. For
good faith users, orphan works are a
frustration, a liability risk, and a major
cause of gridlock in the digital
marketplace. The issue is not contained
to the United States. Indeed, in recent
months, the European Commission has
adopted measures that would begin to
resolve the issue in certain contexts and
a number of foreign governments are
reviewing or proposing solutions. The
Copyright Office seeks comments
regarding the current state of play for
orphan works. It is interested in what
has changed in the legal and business
environments during the past few years
that might be relevant to a resolution of
the problem and what additional
legislative, regulatory, or voluntary
solutions deserve deliberation. This is a
general inquiry and the Office will
likely publish additional notices on this
topic.
DATES: Comments are due by 5:00 p.m.
EST on January 4, 2013. Reply

interface requires commenting parties to
complete a form specifying name and
organization, as applicable, and to
upload comments as an attachment via
a browser button. To meet accessibility
standards, commenting parties must
upload comments in a single file not to

WordPerfect; Rich Text Format (‘‘RTF’’);
or ASCII text file format (not a scanned

comments must include both the name
of the submitter and organization. The
Copyright Office will post all comments
publicly on the Copyright Office’s Web
site exactly as they are received, along
with names and organizations. If
electronic submission of comments is
not feasible, please contact the
Copyright Office at 202–707–8350 for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
An ‘‘orphan work’’ is an original work
of authorship for which a good faith,
prospective user cannot readily identify
and/or locate the copyright owner(s) in
a situation where permission from the
copyright owner(s) is necessary as a
matter of law.1 Under current law,
anyone who uses an orphan work
without permission runs the risk that
the copyright owner(s) may bring an
infringement lawsuit for substantial
damages, attorneys’ fees, and/or
injunctive relief unless a specific
exception or limitation to copyright
applies.2 In such a situation, a
productive and beneficial use of the
work may be inhibited—not because the
1 See United States Copyright Office, Report on
Orphan Works (2006) (‘‘Orphan Works Report’’ or
‘‘Report,’’ at 1, available at https://
www.copyright.gov/orphan/orphan-report.pdf.
2 The Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.,
includes several exceptions and limitations that
would allow use of orphan works under certain
circumstances, such as § 107 (fair use), § 108(h) (use
by libraries during the last twenty years of the
copyright term), and § 115(b) (statutory license to
distribute phonorecords). The Office concluded in
its Orphan Works Report, however, that existing
provisions would not address many orphan works
situations. See Orphan Works Report at 7.

copyright owner has asserted his
exclusive rights in the work, or because
the user and owner cannot agree on the
terms of a license—but merely because
the user cannot identify and/or locate
the owner and therefore cannot
determine whether, or under what
conditions, he or she may make use of
the work. This outcome is difficult if not
impossible to reconcile with the
objectives of the copyright system and
may unduly restrict access to millions of
works that might otherwise be available
to the public (e.g., for use in research,
education, mainstream books, or
documentary films). Accordingly,
finding a fair solution to the orphan
works problem remains a major goal of
Congress and a top priority for the
Copyright Office.
A. 2006 Report on Orphan Works
The Copyright Office published its
Orphan Works Report (‘‘Report’’) in
January 2006, after conducting a
comprehensive study at the request of
Congress. The Report documented the
experiences of users who are unable to
find copyright owners, the kinds of
works at issue, and the kinds of projects
that may be forestalled. It analyzed the
legal issues, including the application of
statutory damages in the orphan works
context, and discussed a variety of
possible solutions. In preparing the
Report, the Office conducted an
extensive public outreach process,
including a series of roundtables in New
York City and Washington, DC and a
public comment period that yielded
over 850 written comments from a
variety of stakeholders. In short, the
Office concluded that the problem of
orphan works is pervasive; it affects a
broad cross-section of stakeholders
including members of the general
public, archives, publishers, and
filmmakers.
The orphan works problem was
exacerbated by a series of changes in
U.S. copyright law over the past thirtyplus years. These changes slowly but
surely relaxed the obligations of
copyright owners to assert and manage
their rights and removed formalities in
the law that had served in part to
provide users with readily accessible
copyright information. Significant
among those changes were the
elimination of the registration and
notice requirements, which resulted in
less accurate and incomplete identifying
information on works, and the
automatic renewal of copyrighted works
that were registered before the effective
