Yeah. Currently, there’s hundreds of thousands of works, if not millions of works that are orphaned. Originally created by people about a hundred or so years ago, who don’t have estates to inherit their stuff. These works belong in the public domain, pure and simple. But nobody’s allowed to use them at all. Or these works ended up just getting claimed by places like getty even though they have no right to them. And this is how corporate media eats the public’s lunch.
I agree there’s a lot that can go wrong implementing the solution. But what we have now needs to be fixed yesterday.
