A list would be nice
This is a very interesting article (I was unaware of "orphan works" before reading it). I think the article would be served well by including a few examples of works that have become orphaned. If there's an online database of orphaned works, that would be a great link to include. 23skidoo 00:26, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
work or works

- Moved "Orphaned works" to "Orphaned work". --h2g2bob 22:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- The most common term is actually "orphan works", which is what the US Copyright Office uses. --Otterfan 15:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Unsupported Statement
"The copyright owners are often willing to have their work used with minimal compensation if they are discovered." This is a claim about the intentions of people who by their very definition can't be identified, so until it can be supported by citing a reputable secondary source, it should be removed. --Otterfan 15:18, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Still unsupported, but would this wording open the way for someone to document the idea? "The copyright owners, once discovered, are often willing to grant use of their work for only a minimal fee." TaoPhoenix (talk) 21:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Modifying section on compulsory license in the US
I'm removing much of the section on the compulsory license and transferring the rest of it to the section on the United States. The compulsory license does not create orphan works, but it does address the problem of orphan works in some cases.
Could someone with a better understanding of the statutory license (Section 115(b) of the Copyright Act) add a section?

Requested move
Orphaned work → Orphan works — "Orphan works" is the preferred term, as used by the US Copyright Office (http://www.copyright.gov/orphan/), relevant publications (Chronicle of Higher Ed, Library Journal) and popular press (The Guardian, NY Times). Currently orphan works redirects to orphaned work, but it should be the other way around. Otterfan 15:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
