Abstract

The problem of orphan works is analyzed, through a critical review of its legal regime in Spain. After reviewing briefly the general protection granted by copyright to works in Spain, the concept of orphan work is delimited, and its conditions are reviewed so that they can be used by the beneficiary entities. Reference is also made to the recently created European database of orphan works, which is still in a very incipient state. Finally, the main disadvantages of the current legal regime for orphan works are discussed.
