EU on term extention for sound recordings


The IPKat has learnt from a combination of Boing Boing and Slashdot that the EU appears to have ditched plans to extend the term of sound recordings, and also to require ISPs to filter content.

The website of the CULT committee (don't get too excited - CULT stands for Culture and Education, rather than anything more sinister) did not have the latest set of minutes, recording this decision.

Can any of the IPKat's readers offer any further information?

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
