Save Orphan Works
Description
We are a loosely knit coalition of persons and groups who believe the fight to Reclaim the Public Domain is crucial to preserving our past and creating our future. We are librarians, archivists, bloggers, musicians, programmers, economists, activists, lawyers, and citizens. We hope you will join us in this fight.
It all started with an op-ed in the New York Times proposing a "technique to move content that is no longer commercially exploited into the public domain, while protecting work that has continuing commercial value." Reformatted, this became the first iteration of the Public Domain Enhancement Act.
With dedicated assistance from the staff at Public Knowledge, the Bill was introduced on June 25, 2003 by Rep. Zoe Lofgren and Rep. John Doolittle. It now has 8 co-sponsors.
