“The Copyright Office has completed its study of problems related to ‘orphan works’—copyrighted works whose owners may be impossible to identify and locate. As requested by Senator Orrin Hatch and Senator Patrick Leahy, the Office submitted its Report on Orphan Works to the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 31, 2006. The Report is also available for download on this page in two versions, the Full Report with Appendices (207 pages, PDF), and the Main Text (no appendices) (133 pages, PDF).”
