The British Library wants copyright law to be updated to curb DRM excesses The British Library has called for a “serious updating” of current copyright law to “unambiguously” include digital content, and take technological advances into account.
In a manifesto launched on Monday at the Labour Party Conference in Manchester, the Library warned that traditional copyright law needs to be extended to fully recognise digital content.
“Unless there is a serious updating of copyright law to recognise the changing technological environment, the law becomes an ass,” Lynne Brindley, chief executive of the British Library, told ZDNet UK.
