This UK Government report looks ahead to how copyright can tackle the challenges of the digital age, drawing on previous work including Digital Britain and the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property, on international perspectives including the European Commission’s and on discussions and submissions from stakeholders.
The proposals aim to support education and research by improving access to works, including orphan works, resolving issues around copyright and contract and ensuring exceptions to copyright are right for the digital age.
