UPDATE! 8/8/15

They (USPTO and Congress) got so many letters from Artists and Photographers that they are going to post them and allow comments until OCT 1! Make sure you support it by commenting or writing!!!! ---->

According to Joan Beiriger "there are two separate issues that the copyright office has extended the deadlines. One is commenting on the letters that artists submitted and the second is writing letters (comments) to the copyright office about their proposed 5 year pilot program in looking for the best way to handle orphan images. Both deadlines are in October."
