Copyright Debate Goes Online

LONDON - David Lammy MP, Minister of State for Intellectual Property, took the copyright debate online, on May 15, 2009, with the launch of a micro website encouraging consumers and stakeholders to join the debate and help shape the future of copyright, a press release by the UK Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) stated.
The site brings together all of the evidence that the UK-IPO has collected since the copyright strategy was launched in December 2008. It also outlines some of the key emerging issues which will be the focus of further work over the next few months.
Speaking about a copyright agenda for the 21st century Lammy said:
"Copyright affects everyone. The technological changes we have seen over recent years have fundamentally altered the way we distribute and share works, bringing new opportunities for us all and new challenges as well.
