Actually, it is already illegal to remove or strip rights management
information and also illegal to remove any technical protection measures
that might be embedded in a work.
The new legislation will require reasonable searches to try and find the
rights holders, and money will be paid by users in order to use the orphan
works under a licensing scheme which will have detailed requirements
attached to it.
The Stop 43 crew are a very very small group of loud voices who are opposed
to the legislative changes, and it should be noted that they accuse museums
etc of creating Orphan Works in the first place. In fact it is the analogue
orphan works which we are digitising and creating the metadata for. On
average, museums spend 1/2 day trying to find the rights holders for orphan
works, and often much much longer.
I wanted to make these points, as Stop 43 have very loud voices are a small
minority, have been involved in the discussions about the scheme, but still
don't listen

it might all be a futile exercise, due to the ease with which embedded
metadata is removed, and the recent legislation:
