This paper explores the perspectives of six of the stakeholders who provided their comments in response to the United States Copyright Office’s 2012 Notice of Inquiry regarding orphan works. These six associations represent the wide range of oppositional viewpoints on this issue. I developed a matrix to provide a quick comparison of where these six stakeholders stand on specific aspects of the orphan works debate, available as its own PDF and at the end of the paper.
