I did a little research about it:

An "orphan work", according to Wikipedia, is "a copyrighted work for which the copyright owner cannot be identified and contacted."

The act said: "The user of an orphan work would be required to have exercised good faith in conducting a diligent search for the owner prior to using the work without permission in order to take advantage of the limited remedies proposed in the bill." That doesn't mean that everyone's going to steal your work.

Anyway, it NEVER PASSED. So quit worrying.
