There is some information in the forums about the Orphan Works Act, a revived copyright law bill that is on its way through US Congress at this very moment. Some folks are vehemently against this bill. Should you wish to support the fight against this bill, please start by educating yourself. Read the bill and related commentary (links are posted in the discussion) and then go here for editable form letters that allow you to send an e-mail protest in less than 2 minutes.
An acquaintance of mine, Dan Heller, has posted a good article about the Orphan Works Bill. It is worth a read if you are a working photographer who is currently freaking out.
