		<description><![CDATA[The orphan works bill, killed nearly two years ago after a protest from artists, seems prepared to make a reappearance sometime in the coming days or weeks. Learn what you need to be prepared here.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft picleft" style="float: left;;  float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;" src="http://www.plagiarismtoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/copyright-clearance-center.jpg" alt="Copyright Clearance Center" width="252" height="71" />I am receiving numerous reports that the controversial <a title="Orphan Works" href="http://www.copyright.gov/orphan/">orphan works legislation</a> is set to be re-introduced to Congress sometime in the next few days. A <a title="Against Orphan Works" href="http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&amp;article_no=3615">backlash against the proposed legislation</a> has already begun and <a title="Orphan Works News" href="http://oncopyright.copyright.com/2008/03/17/orphan-works-are-back-on-congress%E2%80%99s-radar-screen/">others are lining up</a> to protest the bill after it is introduced.</p>
<p>There is very little information at this time as the bill has not yet been introduced. However, early reports are that it looks very similar to the bill that was introduced, and defeated, in 2006. Back then, it was an uproar by artists, photographers and illustrators that resulted in the bill&#8217;s failure.</p>
<p>I am going to be following this bill very closely as it is introduced and makes its way through the legislative process. In the meantime, please feel free to read my previous works on the matter, which were written regarding the 2006 bill, below:</p>
