Talk:Copyright law of the United Kingdom

message: ISTR a case where a user was allowed to make copies of CDs to  comapct cassette for the purpose of listening to them in his car.
This is important case law, but I have no details. Anyone? Rich Farmbrough 13:37, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: OK - what about Tate Modern posters of a Van Gogh painting in their collection. The painting itself is out of copyright, but they control access to it and sell photographs (slides, postcards, posters). Can I photograph their photographs? They surely can't argue there is any creative artistic element, or indeed much expert labour, in producing an exact facimile photograph? In effect they are extending the copyright term by saying because they own it only they can reproduce it.

replies: text: Under UK copyright law, copyright exists in a newly made photograph of an object that is itself out of copyright. There is no requirement for creative input by the photographer. This differs from US copyright law. EEye (talk) 14:45, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Much of the material is very outdated, referring to old statutes and making scant reference to contemporary developments. I have done some re-structuring and made some additions, but without simply removing very large chunks of material, there is not much more I can do. Perhaps the "Framework" section can be used to structure the remainder of the article. I would suggest all removal of information that does not relate to the current law.   --Jason246xy (talk) 21:08, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be better to move such material to an article on the history of the UK copyright law. TJRC (talk) 22:39, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

text: Good idea. I haven't updated below "Qualifications for Protection", so most below that could be moved, with the exception of material dealing with the current legislation (i.e., 1988 Act)--Jason246xy (talk) 19:54, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
