Summary/Abstract: It is required the prior consent of holders of the copyright or the related rights for digitizing and making available to the public the works or other protected objects. As being a real major action in all Member States, it could not have been accomplished in those cases where not having been identified any holder of copyright or, even identified, could not be located, this is why it is considered necessary the adoption of Directive 2012/ 28 /EU of the European Parliament and of Council of October 25, 2012 on certain uses of allowed orphan works. This Directive was implemented in the Romanian law by ammending Law no. 8/1996 on copyright and related rights by Law no. 210 of July 21, 2015, regulations which are just analyzed in this article.
