As promised:

The House version of the Orphan Works Act of 2008

The Senate version of the Orphan Works Act of 2008

As some readers have observed, there are slightly different provisions in the two bills, and only one or the other of them (possibly amended) can be signed into law; either the House version will pass the House and be voted on in the Senate, or the Senate version will pass the Senate and be voted on in the House, or neither version will pass its own chamber and it won't be an issue.

I intend to post a point-by-point comparison of the two bills, but it may be a while in coming. My friend Eric's death is hitting me pretty hard, and I'm not really up for doing a lot of blogging at the moment. In the meantime, Alex Curtis over at Public Knowledge has some good commentary; feel free to collect other useful links in the comments to this post, if you like.
