Academy slams orphan copyright proposal
Kim Thomas
The British Academy has attacked a proposal by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) to make the Copyright Tribunal responsible for granting licences for the use of orphan works.
Orphan works are those where the rights holders cannot be traced, or the date of the author's death is unknown.
The British Library estimates that 40% of all print works are orphan works.
John Kay, chairman of the British Academy's copyright committee, said: "That essentially leaves people who want to use that material vulnerable. They can waste a lot of time tracking down someone who owns the copyright. Worse, they can find publishers simply unwilling to let things go in published material without a copyright permission they can't obtain."
