*Effective Copyright Policy:* Copyrights encourage creativity and
incentivize innovators to invest knowledge, time, and money into the
generation of myriad forms of content. However, the copyright system has
languished for many decades, and is in need of administrative reform to
maximize its benefits in the digital age. Hillary believes the federal
government should modernize the copyright system by unlocking—and
facilitating access to—orphan works that languished unutilized, benefiting
neither their creators nor the public. She will also promote open-licensing
arrangements for copyrighted material and data supported by federal grant
funding, including in education, science, and other fields. She will seek
to develop technological infrastructure to supports digitization, search,
and repositories of such content, to facilitate its discoverability and
use.   And she will encourage stakeholders to work together on creative
solutions that remove barriers to the seamless and efficient licensing of
content in the U.S. and abroad.
