Orphan Works Legislation Would Be A Small But Important Step Toward Copyright Reform

We've long promoted the common-sense idea of orphan works legislation. Orphan works are works still under copyright whose present owners are unknown. This is a serious problem because there's no way to license orphan works and a big risk of a subsequent infringement lawsuit if they're used without a license. My co-blogger Jerry Brito has a post examining a pair of bills (one in the House, one in the Senate) that would address the problem.

Art works Auctioned online

June 18th and 19th Saffronart features an online auction covering 140 works by 67 modern and contemporary Indian artists. These will be accompanied by preview events in New York and Mumbai.

"Essentially both these styles of art have traditionally different buyers in the market. The European and non-Indian buyers seem to identify more with contemporary Indian artists, and hence their demand is currently more in the west. The Indian resident and non-residential buyers have a greater connect and nostalgic feeling toward Indian modernists. Thus the works of artists like Souza, Raza, and Hussain amongst others fetch such high values.
