      title = {Public Good Theory : a Theoretical Justification For  Permissive License To Use And Re-use Orphan Works.},
      abstract = {This paper explores the adoption of Paul Samuelson’s  Public Good Theory as a theoretical justification for a  permissive licensing scheme enabling the use, and re-use  orphan works in Malaysia. Orphan works are  copyright-protected works with unlocatable or unidentified  right holders, and are currently on the rise due to the  proliferation of unregistered, anonymous, and abandoned  copyright works. The literature denotes the challenges  arising from the difficulty faced by potential users in  obtaining the permission for creative and innovative use of  orphan works as required under Copyright law. Such  challenges impede the potential use and re-use of orphan  works for the purpose of knowledge dissemination, progress  in the arts, preservation and digitisation activities. This  paper contributes to the current body of knowledge by  canvassing two important issues. The first issue focuses on  the challenges faced by potential users to use and re-use  orphan works in Malaysia. The second is Paul Samuelson’s  Public Good as a theoretical justification for permissive  license to use and re-use orphan works. It is anticipated  that a legislative reform grounded on Paul Samuelson’s  Public Good Theory will spur grassroots innovations,  creativity and entrepreneurialism among members of the  public. The permissive licensing scheme supports global  calls for legislative reform of copyright law to facilitate  the use and reuse of orphan works.},
