Subject: [Leica] Orphan Works - WHO to contact? Senate.
From: tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)
Date: Thu May 8 14:19:40 2008

My usual dumb question? 

Does this American bullshit Orphan crap apply internationally or only to
America? Obviously it's being pushed so somebody can make a pile of money at
the expense of the originating photographer or artist?
