Subject: Opposition to Clause 43 being given a good airing in the 2nd reading
As I watch the debate that is going I am proud to say that we have many MPs fighting our corner. Highlights so far>>

Conservative front bench in the form of Jeremy Hunt have come out firmly against Clause 43 along with MPs on both sides of the house (Austin Mitchell for one). LibDems are in favour of a 1950's limit on Orphan Works but if they can't get that adopted they want C43 dropped (that is progress from this morning).

Two FABULOUS moments so far that will go down in history (ok Hansard)

Jeremy Hunt making a great and humorous reference to the Lord Mandelson viral http://www.facebook.com/l/14e30;www....y_the_best.jpg
and
Peter Luff naming http://www.facebook.com/l/14e30;Stop43.org.uk and quoting Jeremy Nicholls' blog almost verbatim on the issues around the Gene Hunt poster including the phone number of the person to contact at the BBC to get permission to use it!! http://www.facebook.com/l/14e30;www....urns-to-ashes/

Priceless stuff!

This is still alive and kicking hard. Lobby your LibDem MPs now to drop Clause 43.

We have spent this afternoon biting our nails hoping that the news that the Labour and Conservatives had agreed to drop Clause 43 was actually going to happen. It was by no means a forgone conclusion. Indeed the LibDems could still have scuppered it. We sat on the news and didn’t pre-empt the outcome which has just been confirmed. A huge thank you for the messages of support during this campaign, but above all for all your tireless efforts writing, emailing, Facebooking and Twittering your MPs. It is these efforts, above everything else, that have achieved this.

It’s been hard work but also an honour to have been part of so much unified support.

Today, I can say I am proud to be a UK photographer. Today we achieved something memorable and outstanding for our future rights and the representation of photographers in the UK.

Well done and congratulations to everyone and your efforts. The number of people who ran this campaign was small and I came to the party later than the rest, organising the Facebook group. However, I have constantly been impressed by the integrity, sense of duty and knowledge by all involved.

WE WON!!!

Re: Copyright, and your shots, new legislation- The Digital Economy Bill

Glad it's dropped

There's a lot of other stuff that's being pushed through and people are kicking a stink up about it:

Quote:
Ministers have been accused of a "stitch-up" to pass laws cracking down on digital piracy before the election.

MPs voiced anger at attempts to rush through the digital economy bill aimed at supporting artists' copyright and tackle illegal file-sharing.

Former minister Tom Watson said it would be a "catastrophic disaster" if the bill went through as constituted.

However, the bill was approved by MPs by a majority of 142 votes and will now pass to the Lords for final approval.

The legislation is one of more than 10 bills being considered by parliamentarians in the "wash-up period" - the remaining time before the legislature is dissolved.

'Repercussions'

Under the terms of the bill, internet service providers will be obliged to send letters to any of their subscribers linked to alleged infringements.

Copyright holders will be able to apply for a court order to gain access to the names and addresses of serious infringers and take action against them while ISPs would be able to suspend accounts of offenders.

Re: Copyright, and your shots, new legislation- The Digital Economy Bill

I know this is an old thread, but want people to understand copyright.

I feel this is an often overlooked subject, as clients and photographers often get confused by intellectual property and copyright law. I've written an interesting scenario that explains the law to help clear up this tricky subject. (Link below)

http://www.joelknightphotography.co.uk and then go to the page, "who owns the image?" under home page.

We as a community need to raise awareness and spread this knowledge.
