Bry sig om föräldrarlösa : Upphovsrätt och problemet med föräldrarlösa verk i USA

by Flack, Paul

This master’s thesis focuses on the orphan works problem in the United States. The research paper analyses three proposed solutions to the orphan works problem: the Orphan Works Act of 2006, the Public Domain Enhancement Act, and Pamela Brannon’s Compulsory Licensing System. After examining these three proposals from a theoretical perspective called the incentives-access paradigm and looking at how they would affect copyright owners and users of orphan works, the paper concludes that the proposals are inadequate. To achieve a better balance between the benefits of copyright protection and its costs, the study presents a new solution to the orphan works problem.
