Stop Legalised Copyright Infringement
Please stop the legalisation of copyright infringement widely reported as to be permitted under THE ENTERPRISE AND REGULATORY REFORM ACT.
The BBC has reported (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22337406) campaigners including Stop43, say this new legislation will permit commercial reproduction of "orphan works" (such as photos, videos, music, creative writing etc.) author permission after only an unsuccessful "diligent search" to find them.
http://www.stop43.org.uk reports the Act can't come into force until it's regulations are enacted so apparantly there is still time to let the government & Minister for Intellectual Property, Viscount Younger of Leckie know of opposition to the offending clauses.
Please sign the petition if you consider the potential copyright infringement unfair and damaging, also to request the government removes any provision from the Act that permits reproduction of creative work without author or copyright owner permission.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
