oh wai apparently its old news
heres a quote .
IT'S AN URBAN LEGEND! Don't waste your time worrying about it.
US Rep. Lamar Smith introduced an Orphan Works bill in 2006 after the USPTO held some hearings on the problems of finding unknown copyright holders. If it had passed -- which it didn't -- it would not have done anything close to what that article claims. If you want to see what it really would have done, look here.---

The bill never went anywhere, never had a cosponsor, got sent to the House Judiciary Committee and died.
