Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Publication of Responses to the Copyright Consultation

Time to read.... ...and comment. Dear stakeholder, We're writing to inform you that today, Thursday 26 July 2012, the Government published the responses it received during its consultation on Copyright. The Government received 471 responses from interested parties. The submitted responses, with the exception of confidential submissions, are accessible via the Intellectual Property Office website, found here: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/consult-copyright-response.htm The Government had initially planned to publish the full set of responses alongside its summary published on 14 June 2012. However, in the course of reviewing the responses received, it became clear that a small number of respondents had advanced criticisms or inappropriately criticised the activities of others in the sector. The Government has now carefully reviewed the submissions to establish any potentially defamatory material and has redacted any inappropriate or defamatory comments. Signatures or personal telephone numbers and email addresses have also been redacted for information security purposes. Thirteen (13) organisations submitted after the consultation closed, and their late submissions are also available in the Intellectual Property Office website, found here: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/pro-policy/consult/consult-closed/consult-closed-2011… The Government would like to thank you, and all those who took the time to contribute to the Consultation.
