"Orphan works are works whose copyright holders cannot be identified or located. As it stands, the situation is that libraries that have digitised such works cannot make them available, as the question of creatorship cannot be resolved. As a result, even the non-commercial use of orphan works is not possible. Furthermore, there is no Europe-wide regulation of this area at present, which means that the accessibility of orphan works varies from Member State to Member State, which can give rise to considerable disadvantages for individual users. Since there has been a court decision in the United States that has authorised Google Books to publish orphan works, there is also a considerable competitive disadvantage for the EU in the online market. Intellectual property is an asset that should be particularly well protected, especially in these days of the online media. According to the report, there would be an option to revoke the status of a work as an orphan work if an author were to report justified infringements of his/her copyright as a result of publication. I voted in favour of the report as I take the view that it is time to provide legal certainty for users on the Internet, too, that goes beyond the borders of individual Member States."@en1
