Submission + - Intellectual Property Manifesto for UK?
feepcreature writes: "Ars Technica and LWN report that the British Library (UK Equivalent of the US Library of Congress) has published a Manifesto calling for a balance in Intellectual Property rights between the interests of users, creators and publishers.
There are 6 key recommendations, including: DRM should not override users' statutory rights; Analogue rights should apply to digital media; and Copyright terms should not be extended without evidence that this would be good for society.
This is part of the debate on the UK Government's Gowers review of Intellectual Property, due to report in the Autumn (Fall, for US readers)."
