Industry's IP struggle in a digital age

Peter Williams

Writers and publishers are facing unprecedented intellectual property (IP) challenges from the emergence of the digital age, according to a roundtable organised by the British Library.

In its contribution to the UK Intellectual Property Office's digital exceptions consultation (which ends 8 April) on taking forward the Gowers Review of intellectual property, the British Library brought together publishers and authors to voice their concerns and views in the debate.

Tracy Chevalier, chair of the Society of Authors and award-winning author, said there was a need for radical suggestions because this was a radical time for publishing and the dissemination of information.

She said authors and writers relied on payment models without thinking too much about them, but digital technologies were a major threat to the current copyright model: "This is like a dam cracking and we are trying to plug the dam. Instead we need a whole new structure."
