If something prior to 1988 it needs to have a copyright symbol on photo with name of copyright holder.
So problem isnt with real ols stuff.
Problem is with newer works that dont require copyright symbol, so the intentions of creator are not explicit. However the law makes it explicit in favor of creator and it is a good law.
There should be a panel that can release articles for reproduction for the sake of posterity, these should be posted on internet with a reproduction and who was authorized to reproduce it so creator can review and claim copyright if he chooses.
Each user of released items should have to register their usage.
This should be funded by an international fund from all countries with copyright laws.
