Your views on the Digitial Economy Act (DEA)

The Digital Economy Act 2010 could have far reaching consequences for librarians. For example a library providing Wi-fi internet access to its clients could be an "Internet Service Provider" under the Act, which would involve a new set of obligations to assist in measurers to combat online copyright infringement.

BIALL is writing a response to the Ofcom consultation on the implementation of the copyright provisions of the DEA. BIALL would welcome any views and queries members may have. This will assist BIALL in drafting a response which reflects the views of BIALL members from all sectors. The consultation relates to Ofcom's draft version of the Code of Initial Obligations

If you have any views in relation to this consulation please add a comment to this blog post or email BIALL Vice President Chris Holland
