Simply plug in a time when progress of copyright does not seem, but actually going backwards, it's nice to see, try at least one country progress. Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a six month review of UK copyright law, trying to make fit "for the Internet age".
Cameron has especially an eye to the United States doctrine of fair use, which permits limited types of unauthorized use of copyrighted material, which he believes is useful allow enterprise, innovation and new types of goods and services to produce Great Britain has currently no fair use rules - and indeed, under current UK law it is not even legal CDs, RIP mp3s.
Of course, it is uncertain how useful will be a fair use provision, given that even over here in the U.S. media companies seem to do everything, it can eliminate – most in particular passing the DMCA, which means that it is illegal DRM files such as such as e-books to strip, even if you do it, so can a legitimate fair use of it to make.
Needless to say, sounds UK media groups cautionary make deserves rewards on creator werden.Publishers Association chief exec said Richard Mollet:
"Publishers Association works closely with the Office for intellectual property during these six months verification to ensure that rightholders interests are not considered as an obstacle to the creation of Internet-based business models, as some believe, but as the foundation of UK substrate sizes creative, cultural and educational publishing industries."
