Time for action: as the debate on term of copyright reaches a crucial stage, Music Week launches a major new campaign calling for the Government to take action and protect creators' interests.
Music Week this week launches a major campaign, calling on the UK Government to lead the call for the extension of the term of copyright in sound recordings.
Over the coming weeks and months, Music Week will launch a series of initiatives under the Extend The Term! banner, to maintain pressure on the Government over the copyright issue.
This week, we kick off by outlining the case for extension (p8-9), as journalist Andrew Gowers launches his review of intellectual property (IP), with a remit to examine the issue.
On Thursday last week, Gowers made his first call for evidence for the IP review, and this Thursday hosts a seminar at the Department of Trade & Industry, at which leading music industry figures will have a chance to debate the issues highlighted.
Gowers was appointed by Chancellor Gordon Brown in December to launch the review of intellectual property, highlighting the term of copyright on sound recordings as a key issue to be resolved.
Gowers' call for evidence last Thursday highlighted, in greater detail than previously outlined, the range of topics which will be addressed by his review.
Alongside general questions such as how IP is awarded, how it is used, licensed and exchanged, and how it is challenged and enforced, Gowers also outlined 12 specific issues. At the top of the list was the current term of protection on sound recordings and performers' rights.
