Pending Federal Law Threatens All Copyright Owners says the Hodgson Law Group
The Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act of 2008 (S. 2913) "Orphan Works Act of 2008" (H.R. 5889) allows anyone to use a copyrighted work without first obtaining permission. The user can later claim that a diligent search was conducted but the owner could not be found in any later action for infringement. This new legislation will apply to all copyright owners whether or not the work was previously registered with the Copyright Office. The legislation threatens the rights of artists, photographers, composers, film makers, publishers, and visual artists says the Hodgson Law Group. The Copyright Office not only endorses this legislation, but also advocates further changes that go beyond the proposed statute in reducing copyright protection. The Registrar of Copyrights seeks to eliminate a proposal in the House Version requiring users to file a Statement of Use in the Copyright Office disclosing unauthorized use, in what has been labeled the "Dark Archive." Elimination of the filing requirement would leave copyright owners with no means to locate unauthorized users claiming the benefit of the "orphan works" legislation. 2008-07-22

New Photo of Neil Armstrong on the Moon   There are famously no good photos of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. This was because for most of the time that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were on the lunar surface, Armstrong had the camera, and so most of the historic photographs taken during the Apollo 11 mission, show Buzz Aldrin. Neil can be seen in the grainy TV and film footage, and his back can be seen in a panorama, but there is one more shot of Neil Armstrong on the Moon 2008-07-16
