UK looks to relax restrictive copyright laws - Jeremy Kirk London, Computer World
The UK is looking to change copyright laws that make it illegal to copy music for personal use and for libraries to archive material under copyright. The UK Intellectual Property Office, which handles patent and copyright issues, released proposals on Tuesday that would amend the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988. The proposals will be evaluated through April 8…. The proposals would also make a new exception for material that parodies something under copyright and leeway for schools conducting online learning and distance learning activities.
