Orphan works bring about a realistic dilemma to the effective dissemination of knowledge. Despite of our great efforts, the problem of orphan works has not been effectively solved. Using block chain and artificial intelligence to automate diligent search could further facilitate the use and dissemination of orphan works. The architecture includes automated systems capable of performing reasonably diligent search and a block chain registry of all searches for a particular work. Complex technical frameworks can mitigate the shortcomings of existing legal mechanisms. Therefore, a better solution is to consider the appropriate legal framework based on what the technical architecture can achieve, which means that technology should be at the center of legal reform. The block chain technology can improve and even integrate the existing legal framework.
