Orphan Works Panel at RAC: Monday, 27 April 2009

License to Steal?
Monday, Apr. 27, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.

The Orphan Works bill being considered by the U.S. Congress appears to be dead for the time being. But the legislation may be re-introduced later this year. The proposed amendment to the Copyright Act would allow museums, libraries and other "keepers of our heritage" to safely use copyrighted works if they cannot find the copyright owner to acquire a license. In principle, those are laudable goals. But opponents say the bill, as drafted, would infringe on artists' rights. Join our panel for a thought-provoking discussion about this controversial issue and learn what Orphan Works legislation would mean to you and your work.

Rebecca Stroder, attorney, Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal, and president of the K.C. Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts
