It will be moot soon enough. Obama's giving Big Content everything they want in the TPP (Pacfic) and TTIP (Atlantic) trade agreements, and from what has been leaked of the earlier versions of the negotiations, the US will never be able to pass an orphan works bill because it will violate these trade agreements. And these trade agreements will pass unchanged because the Republicans own Congress, and these pacts are all about increasing the profits of big business. Not that a Democratic Senate would have stopped it either, and a lot of Democratic Senators are very Big Content friendly too.
