Overall aims
2 aims come before orphans1. Put users in contact with © owners
– Authors if alive or representatives if in term
– Enable negotiation of licences
2. Identify works out of ©– Enable public domain works to be used
3. If 1&2 fail, assist use of orphan works– Enable both new works and culturally valuable uses
– Compensate authors/representative if found

The Australian context
Longer terms makes orphan problems worse– ‘Life + 70’
– Unlimited term of unpublished works
Established system of ‘legal deposit’ makes print works easier to find – But not audio-visual or digital works
DoDs of authors can often be found through BD&M registers
No ID card or location registers, so locating live authors is more difficult

8 Desirable aims
Reduce the number of orphans– Improve ID/location of authors/representatives
Identify public domain works– Improve dating of deaths of authors, and publication
– Include works otherwise in public domain?
Limit our solution to ‘local’ works– Published here or created here?
Seek a comprehensive solution– But don’t assume one solution fits all -
• (a) all user sectors (eg s200AB); or • (b) all types of works

8 Desirable aims (cont.)
Seek cooperation b/w institutions– Libraries, Collecting Socs, other registers
Use existing tools, esp. Collecting Socs.– But avoid conflicts of interest (eg in Canada)
– Best able to build databases of works and authors
Enable voluntary registers of works– Users can pay to search
Make users’ intentions transparent– ‘Notice of intention to use orphan works’?
– Enable ‘bounty hunters’ to find parents for orphans
