	U.S. Copyright Office - Orphan Works
		Orphan Works Act of 2006 H.R. The Copyright Office has completed its study of problems related to “orphan works”—copyrighted works whose owners may be impossible to identify and locate.
		The Office asked specifically whether there were compelling concerns raised by orphan works that merit a legislative, regulatory, or other solution, and if so, what type of solution could effectively address these concerns without conflicting with the legitimate interests of authors and right holders.
		The Office also hosted public roundtable discussions on orphan works in Washington, D.C., on July 26 and 27, 2005, and in Berkeley, California, on August 2, 2005.

		To strip orphaned works of their copyright protection in a time of flux would be to inflict permanent unprotected status on substantial bodies of work.
		Even if a collective work is orphaned because a publication ceases or a publisher fails, an artist still retains the rights to his or her own individual contribution to the publication.
		By arguing that creative work is only a "remix" of the work of others, the critics of copyright ignore the factors of experience, personal development and individual vision that are embodied in any author's tangible expression of an idea.

		Orphan works are copyrighted materials whose owners are difficult or impossible to locate, meaning they can no longer be purchased, reprinted, cited at length, or otherwise built upon.
