| @RonTrice great question. The problem is real, but the idea is to allow use if you do a qualifying search and pay the owner if he comes back |
|
| @RonTrice orphan works is the problem when you can't find an owner to ask permission to use their copyrighted work. trying to fix the prob. |
|
| @allisterk what conference was that with Vint Cerf? |
|
| @RonTrice it has its fun days, yes. Did you have an interest in orphan works or did you stumble on me some other way? |
|
| @RonTrice :-) it's actually rep. Howard berman (d-ca) who is chairman of the subcommittee on courts, the internet, and intellectual property |
|
