Comment on Photographers' anger at law change over 'orphan works'

Comments

I'm a non-professional photographer and a hacker. I've made a very small amount of money when people bought my photos ($4 I think :D).

This is an amazing law. Diligent search includes using Tiny Eye so there should be no concern about stealing others photos, putting them up on a Chinese site and then claiming not to be able to find them.

Also, if you ever want to get in touch with someone you can easily contact, say, 500px, flicker or Instagram to get someones contact info if you want to use the photo for commercial use.

Anyway, this is awesome.
