A beautiful podcast by Larry Lessig explaining how the Library of Congress's proposed solution to the problem of orphan works "diligent search" isn't. Something he mentions: the problem with institutions - a University, or a large corporation such as Kinkos/Fedex can't afford to violate copyright. Something implicit in this that he doesn't mention - the proposal is stupid and unenforceable, so people who can ignore it will. That means that everyone will ignore it except large institutions. So we'll buy our own xerox machines and scanners rather than go to Kinkos. And large educational institutions are going to be at a disadvantage in the teaching of things like music, writing, movie making and other creative enterprises - which will to be to the advantage of the small tutor. So the big institutions by supporting this "compromise" are cutting their own throats. So be it.
