“…Orphan works tidak mempunyai kaitan dengan anak yatim.

Orphan works bermaksud karya yang masih dilindungi oleh hak cipta tetapi pemilik hak ciptanya tidak dapat dikenal pasti, dihubungi atau dijejaki. Pihak-pihak yang berminat perlu mendapatkan persetujuan daripada pemilik hak cipta sebelum mereka boleh menggunakan karya tersebut. Walau bagaimanapun, aspek persetujuan tersebut tidak dapat dipenuhi dalam konteks orphan works sekali gus mendatangkan masalah kepada pengguna seperti individu, syarikat, dan organisasi kebudayaan dan kesenian. Oleh itu, makalah ini bertujuan untuk meneroka cabaran dan halangan untuk menggunakan orphan works di Malaysia. Di samping itu, negara seperti United Kingdom, Kanada dan Kesatuan Eropah telahpun menggunakan beberapa strategi untuk menyelesaikan isu ini. Antaranya termasuklah melalui skim pelesenan dan pengecualian khusus untuk penggunaan karya orphan works. Malaysia masih belum lagi mempunyai sebarang kerangka perundangan dan polisi untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini. Oleh itu, makalah ini juga bertujuan untuk mengkaji strategi yang digunakan di United Kingdom, Kanada dan Kesatuan Eropah sekali gus memberikan beberapa cadangan yang boleh diguna pakai oleh Parlimen dan pembuat dasar di Malaysia. Diharapkan makalah ini dapat memberikan kesedaran tentang kelompangan undang-undang dalam isu akses kepada orphan workssekali gus membebaskan karya ini untuk digunakan oleh mana-mana pihak tanpa kegusaran tentang implikasi perundangan

“…This makes the creation of copyrighted works easy and less costly, but with less or no information about the owner (Maggs, 2010). Thus, in today's world, technology is becoming more readily available and advanced (Thompson, 2006) and is contributing to the creation of orphan works, as, in the digital age, society tends to rely on digital copies of a work rather than the traditional hard copies in physical libraries (Copenhaver, 2006).…”

The article examines the problem of orphan works in general. Orphan works are copyrighted works whose owners are difficult or impossible to identify and/or locate after a diligent search has been conducted. The article introduces the nature of the problem and how it emerged.There are various reasons for the creation of the problem of orphan works and the authors undertake a qualitative approach to a thorough investigation that reveals that orphan works have become a significant challenge. The authors also reveal the legal and technological factors behind the creation of the problem and suggest ways to prevent its recurrence in the future. It is understood that orphan works undermine the goal of copyright law because one of the objectives of providing authors with copyright protection is that the public should, in return, be able to access the protected work and take benefit from it; however, the problem of orphan works deprives the public of a means of accessing these works.

Orphan works are works that are still protected by copyright and whose owners cannot be identified or located by prospective users for copyright clearance. Many countries have addressed this issue since the emergence of the problem, and it remains a legitimate subject of inquiry in this present day. However, Malaysia is yet to initiate public consultations and formulate legislative and non-legislative solutions to the orphan work problem. Hence, this paper aspires to underline the challenges and obstacles in exploiting the orphan works in Malaysia. It starts with a brief introduction to the orphan works problem and its causes. It further highlights the legal and policy uncertainties about the orphan work phenomenon in Malaysia and its implication to higher learning education. Besides, this paper also examines the current practices in the United Kingdom and Canada. Finally, this paper proposes some suggestions into what Parliament and policymakers have to do and avoid when solving Malaysia's orphan work phenomenon. It is hoped that the access to the orphan works in Malaysia would not be problematised, thereby liberating them from the copyright orphanage.
