CILIP | LACA: Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance

What's new

Response to UK-IPO consultation on Proposed Changes to Copyright Exceptions

We broadly support proposals to extend copyright exceptions for preservation, education, and fair dealing for non-commercial research or private study but extensions to the latter must be mirrored in the library and archive copying exceptions. We also call for legislation to confirm application of the exceptions to the digital environment and to prevent them from being overridden by contracts. As convener of LACA and its majority stakeholder, CILIP is joined with LACA in its Response.
