You're right. There are some needs that demand a work that is utterly
unique. But there aren't many.
And most people who are trying to track the owner of an "orphaned
work" go no further an a quick Google search. And that's obviously
nothing like complete, or enough to call something an orphan. (It is,
however, in the same vein as writing a paper based on Wikipedia
articles . . . .)
