And this is how Orphan works ought to be handled. Any group that wants  
to come into libraries and scan orphan works should be allowed to. And  
they should all pay into a fund that reimburses authors and  
illustrators. It's not like this stuff cannot be tracked. What to do  
with the money that never gets collected? Now that's an interesting  
conundrum that I have no desire to leave to congress.
