I understand where you are coming from - but the practicalities and hence obligations and remedies are very different for cultural heritage organisations. At any rate, both require reasonable searches to establish that the rights holders can’t be found.
From the point of view of the as-yet-untraced author it *operates like* an exception.
(Or a limitation or a compulsory licence - but this is Twitter.) https://t.co/PB6wnzQWMK
Absolutely. Which is why we need to differentiate between different types of risk. A commercially produced photo is not the same as a family snap shot but legally copyright issues are the same. In the former we can often get permission, in the latter we can’t trace rights holders
@PollyRussell1 @NKorn Over-interpretation and undue risk aversion seems to be a feature of librarian practice in this area
A licence is not an exception. As @CharlesOppenh says: a govt sponsored licence, with limited reach and dubious benefit does not make good business sense. The lack of take up is evidence for its market failure.
@NKorn My point, made too tersely, is that libraries & archives can under any circs apply for an OW licence (which is a form of exception).
And to reassure those who have obtained one.
