The thing that's so exceptionally aggravating about Simon's article is that he conflates orphaned works with requiring copyright registration. This is totally not the case; the Copyright Office has outright stated that any potential orphaned works legislation should give the same consideration to both registered and unregistered works. Automatic copyright isn't going away any time soon.
