Evidence guides Gowers to strike the right balance on copyright
As the author of the Gowers Review into copyright and intellectual property, Andrew Gowers has struck just the right note.
"The evidence he has taken on board should be commended," said Lynne Brindley, chief executive of the British Library. Like others in the information industry, she praised the government for using evidence to shape its policy.
For those of you who didn't spend Christmas reading the full 140-odd pages of the report, the Gowers Review covered everything from library archives to the rise and fall of hip-hop as an example of creativity.
"I think generally that the report makes some good recommendations and I am glad to see that making a private copy is now accepted," said Suw Charman of the Open Rights Group copyright campaign.
"He doesn't want to start again; instead, he wants to bring intellectual property into a new policy framework," Brindley said. "But I think the discussions are just beginning."
