PROTECTING ORPHAN WORKS IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Summary/Abstract: In the digital age, protecting orphan works is a daunting task. However, there are strategies that can be used to protect these works. The article highlights both legal and technological approaches as essential to identifying and implementing sustainable solutions. Legal measures may involve changes to copyright laws, such as introducing a limited term of protection for orphan works or allowing non-profit organizations to use them without fear of legal repercussions. Technological solutions may involve the use of fingerprinting and watermarking techniques to help identify and track these works. Combining legal and technological approaches could also be effective in protecting orphan works. For example, a registry or database could be created and managed by a nonprofit organization that would list all orphan works along with copyright information and allow users to search for them. This would make it easier for people to find and use orphan works, while ensuring that copyright holders who can be identified receive adequate compensation if their works are used for commercial purposes.
