It appears from this article that the Brits are the first off the mark to actually pass 'orphan' copyright law. It is my understanding similar legislation is planned for Canada though revisions to both UK and Canadian legislation is being driven by American lobbyists who intend to see such legislation enacted in their country.
That piece is a bit old, the legislation has not passed, we have a new parliament, the game is still on,

Draconian against photographers for sure! I'll post this as a separate topic: I was thinking it would be great to actually digitally embed your RAW files with your name and id info in the camera, unless this is already possible? File info is fine too, but that can be changed, or sometimes disappear with transfers. I think embedded into the RAW file would be faily secure. MM
