Copyright Office Announces Public Roundtable Discussions on Orphan Works

The Copyright Office will hold public roundtable discussions regarding orphan works later this summer. The cities and dates for the discussions are as follows:

Washington, D.C.
Tuesday, July 26, 2005
Wednesday, July 27, 2005

Berkeley, California
(hosted by the Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California
at Berkeley)
Tuesday, August 2, 2005

Specifics will be released later as a formal notice in the Federal Register and via the Office's website. I was planning on going on a mini-vacation the week of August 1st, but this might be worth staying in town an extra day or two to catch the Boalt Hall event.
