BL demands overhaul of intellectual property law
Microsoft and Google have joined forces with the British Library in calling on the government to radically overhaul the intellectual property (IP) law.
Meetings at both the Labour and Conservative Party conferences have added momentum to the debate and a manifesto for new legislation has been drafted.
The National Consumer Council, British Phonographic Industry and the Open Rights Group are also lobbying both the current government and the resurgent Conservative Party to modernise the law to reflect the digital age.
"The current stand-off on intellectual property threatens innovation, research and our digital heritage," said British Library chief executive Lynne Brindley.
Some information professionals may be surprised to see Google campaigning for change given its approach to book digitisation so far, but Brindley was quick to defend the search engine giant.
