Chris,
This is an important issues & I would say we should definitely respond.
I would offer to help but family health issues (& a ton of marking for work) mean I can’t give mush time at present.
I would suggest CILIP (http://www.cilip.org.uk/ ) in the UK and Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/) more generally as useful organisations to consult with.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Govt consultation on copyright
Dear all,
The Government has recently announced a consultation on about changes to copyright law. This follows a review of the existing arrangements by Professor Hargreaves over the summer.
Do people feel we should respond? (Or to reverse the question, can anyone see good reasons for us *not* to respond? Just to be clear, charities are quite allowed to do things like this so long as lobbying doesn't become their main purpose...)
If we are going to respond, who would be interested in helping work on our response? Do you know other people who we should be working with or talking to on issues like this?
Regards,
Chris
