Re: Lawsuit of Countless Illegal Copies

The government does not go after copyright violators. That is the responsibility of copyright owners. The orphan bills do not provide any additional copyright protection to copyright owners. They only remove the option for the copyright owner to recover legal damages if the infringer meets the standards for performing a good faith search for the copyright owner. The search requirement does not provide you protection. It provides protection only to the infringer.

With or without the orphan law, you have to take legal action to protect your work. These bills change nothing in that regard.
