> There is a growing concern on the regulations being placed to prevent
> the photocopying of published works which includes that which is
> related to family and genealogical information especially when the
> author has died or cannot be located. This work is being called
> "Orphan Works". This has no bearing on the Orphan Train or individuals
> without parents, but rather, data or information where the authors are
> difficult or impossible to locate.
>
> The U.S. Copyright Office is seeking opinions on how to proceed. This
> should be of interest to anyone who is interested in family history
> research and or publishing their own genealogy or family history.
> We are being encouraged to voice our opinion on the subject whatever
> that opinion is, as it may touch each of us, either because we may be
> the author or the individual trying to locate an author.
