British Library calls for digital copyright action
The British Library has called for a "serious updating" of current copyright law to "unambiguously" include digital content and take technological advances into account.In a manifesto released on Monday at the Labor Party Conference in Manchester, the United Kingdom's national library warned that the country's traditional copyright law needs to be extended to fully recognize digital content.
"Unless there is a serious updating of copyright law to recognize the changing technological environment, the law becomes an ass," Lynne Brindley, chief executive of the British Library, told ZDNet UK.
