UK Copyright laws relaxed

[Ellie]

Hey so right now it's technically (and, well, physically) illegal to put CDs onto your MP3 player in the UK, because that's breaching copyright laws.

The laws are being relaxed! Or, rather, rewritten.

According to the TV, can't find it online, but:

- It will be legal to change the format of any media you own (to MP3, from DVD to Video, etc)
- It will be legal to create spoofs of works and upload them to youtube and other content sharing sites

This is pretty cool as:

a, keeps CD stores in business!
b, means more freedom in terms of youtube. People get sued and shit for making spoofs.

I love owning physical copies of everything. I get to hold it and look at it and all that.

Ditto.
