be located? Have you searched for the owners in order to ask permission
but have found yourself facing a wall and therefore out of luck to use
the work? Join expert attorney and public interest advocate Gigi Sohn to

background of these types of copyrighted works, and a discussion of
current legislation, with its pros and cons, that aims to resolve the
