This doesn’t seem fair to me. I know BoingBoing gets (understandably) frustrated with copyright law, but giving away people’s creations for free just because the people who made them lost their parents seems like it’s adding insult to injury. Sure, change has to start somewhere, and it’s a zero-sum game in some ways, but orphans seem like the last people you should take assets away from, not the first.
What? It’s the creations that are orphans, not the creators??

Never mind!
