Urgent Call for Your Action on Orphan Works
The American Society of Media Photographers and other creative organisations are calling for action to protest the new 'Orphan Works' legislation passing through congress in the United States.
The issue is that the amendment to the Copyright Act that will define works whose creators cannot be identified as 'orphaned'. For photographers and illustrators especially this is bad news. We routinely publish our images on the internet, they are then linked to or featured on other sites, in all good faith. As our work spreads across the internet on third-party sites it may be that someone who comes across that image, and wants to use it, won't know who the creator is. If, after "good faith, reasonably diligent search," they still cannot find out who you are then they're free to use that image as they please.
If you discover the usage you can make a claim for compensation, but that compensation is set so low - it doesn't include allowances for any damages or legal fees - that you will need to pay out of pocket to take action against people who refuse to pay. If one of your images was used in a way that was damaging to your reputation (misrepresenting a subject for example) then you have no avenue for compensation.
