Also, look out for the usual suspects. Perhaps you can say something about (or in support of) JM Ockerbloom's comment.
Great idea! In case anyone who is willing to submit a brief comment is still looking for ideas, here's one from JMO's (long and excellent) comment that's worth highlighting: 32, The requirement used in certain other exemptions of copies not being available at a reasonable price should not be a general requirement for the use of orphan works. A few copies of a work on the used market does not substitute for uses such as posting a work online for public access, or performance of a work, or creation of derivative works. To help drive the point home, it would be great if someone has a specific example they could cite, e.g. of a derivative work that's substantially different from print books that are listed on places like Abebooks. It's fine if the actual example uses a public domain work, then points out that the equivalent is not currently legal with orphan works. -- Cheers, Scott S.
