 Orphan Works
Jerry Brito, an IP attorney who published articles supporting the proposed orphan works legislation, suggested in his blog that our examples are not fair because we did not identify the sources in which the images were found.
Imagine a law that said that an automobile owner was responsible for keeping license plates on her car and the registration in the glove compartment and that if the car were stolen, and the plates and registration removed, anyone who found it would get to keep it.
Instead, what we got from the Copyright Office is an extremely wide-ranging exemption from liability for all users, for all works, in vaguely defined circumstances, along with the removal of effective deterrents for infringement in cases far removed from museums and libraries.

 Story - Once too orphan
But the staying power of its simplistic and cartoonish message of hope and optimism, as embodied by a raffish 11-year old orphan girl during the Great Depression, is more a tribute to the show's status as a vehicle for cute child performers and second-rate character actors than any inherent strength of its theatricality.
She simply can't convey the heartache and hope that melts an audience and endears her to all of the play's other characters.
We like her, but can't understand why everyone else professes sublime adoration, especially when she spends a good deal of her time on stage visibly waiting for her cues.

Manji is an immortal swordsman who wants only to die, but must kill a thousand evil men to atone for his sins before he can get rid of his curse of unwanted immortality.
The shogun also had an easy (and on the surface, honorable) way to turn his back on Ogami and his clan and reward the Yaygu clan — the ones who had set up the betrayal.
It is an example of the skillful pacing of this story that it allows both the audience and Himura a chance to take a deep breath and then, just as complacency sets in, sweeps it all away in a malestrom of violence.
