The Illustrator's Partnership has a report on the latest Congressional subcommittee hearings.
The "Orphan Works" act, otherwise touted as the Public Domain Enchancement Act (PDEA) is in the process of being revived. Its first hearing, by a subcommittee of the House Committee of the Judiciary, took place on Thursday, March 13, 2008. This particular piece of legislation holds great interest for everyone involved in the creative fields and should it pass, will affect all creators.
Illustrator's Partnership has their report here:
