Concerns with the Hargreaves Review of Copyright

The moral rights of authors are not automatically granted as in other EU countries.

Moral rights have still not been made unwaivable as in other EU countries.

No sanctions are proposed for the removal of digital copyright information from digital works.

The review proposes allowing orphan works to be used for commercial purposes.

That remedies for unauthorised use are restricted for those who have not registered their works.

Creators are not given a level playing field with industry.

Artists rights have not been recognised as human rights by the IP review.

These are serious matters that will adversely affect every creative in the UK. The UK Government appear to be trying to push these proposals through at speed in advance of any EU directive on the harmonisation of copyright and the proposed treatment of orphan works. This is unfair and will damage the already fragile business prospects for the UK's creative citizens and small businesses.

This is seriously wrong imo, it grants them those who use our intellectual property for nothing. What does this government want? More unemployed people on the dole line? Do we want to be used for charity give outs?

The image stock library are already at an all time low, this will essentially bankrupt most photographers and let those more established continue reap the benefits of their work
