Micky Site Supporter Registered: 01/03/05 Posts: 11552 Loc: Westbury-on-severn, Gloucester...	http://www.stop43.org.uk/ http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=ts&gid=105741059455603 Lots of photographers on the site so sure some will already know about this. Just a quick 5 min letter to your local mp might make a difference. _________________________ My Flickr My Facebook

Say someone wants to use your pic. They can go to the gov and say they want to use it. If they can show they have looked for the owner of the pic but not found the owner they pay the gov a small fee and you loose the copyright on your pic and the get to use it Think that makes sense. Yet at the same time the gov are doing what they can to stop the copyright being breached in the music business (illegal music downloads) _________________________ My Flickr My Facebook

It seems to be that even if they do know who the photo belongs to they can still use it for commercial purposes without permission simply by paying a fee to the government. _________________________

Kev Registered: 01/03/06 Posts: 10490 Loc: Birmingham, UK.	What a complete joke! I havn't looked at it yet, but does it mean they can make money from other peoples pics if they have the sources? _________________________

Quote: I havn't looked at it yet, but does it mean they can make money from other peoples pics if they have the sources? In short yes. As long as they say they can't find the owner. The photographer suffers by not getting paid and the gov and end user get gains for doing nothing. _________________________ My Flickr My Facebook

The Digital Bill was passed by the Commons yesterday, so the House of Lords would have to pass an amendment to re-insert the clause. If that happenned then it would have to go back to the Commons to be voted on again, and there wouldn't be time before the election. _________________________

Apart from this issue - which was removed - it covers various things including forcing ISPs to disconnect customers for illegal downloading, and paving the way for analogue radio to be switched off in (I think) 2015. _________________________
