Official Guidance on UK Copyright
Mar 5, 2014 09:29:50 #
New guidance just released on UK Copyright. I know copyright / model release, comes up just about every day, but it is not often you see anything directly relating to British law. Pretty basic, but it covers the major points.

It seems very clear and not mucked up with all the legalese. It will be interesting to see how well its enforced the first couple of years. It looks very good.

Thanks for that. Interesting.
I wonder if that's a general guide for the public, or if that is the actual legal document - the law that would be used in court. It seems too simple to be something legal. I can understand it. No need for a lawyer.

I think it is a bit "dumbed down" Jerry, but as I say, it is an official statement, so has some authority, and does cover the basics. If anyone needs more, then they would obviously need to research further.
I would agree with you though in that is does appear to be a guide, rather than a definitive statement of law. At least it is something, given to us rather than taken away. I do think the issue of orphan files needs some work on it, as that appears to be open to abuse. Or am I just being paranoid ?

It's a re-statement in easily understood terms, a bringing up to date for the digital age, of something that has always been the case in the UK.

It's nice that it's short and readable.
