Something For Your Government

If you live or work in the US, then have a look at this, and then contact your Representative and Senator to prevent this bill from passing.

If the Orphaned Works Bill passes, then it's safe to say that it will have a chilling effect on anyone doing any sort of art -- visual, musical, or literary -- in this country.

Yeah, apparently this bill was proposed two years ago and has not been introduced since. You might want to keep it in mind, though; if we've learned anything, this sort of thing has a habit of coming back and eventually getting passed when nobody's looking.
