European Commission Green Paper
on Copyright in the Knowledge Economy


LACA's response to the green paper.

EU draft directive on term of copyright for sound recordings

LACA tells UK-IPO about the impact the proposed directive would have on sound collections and archives.

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.
