IP rights in the digital age
Launched at the autumn Party Conferences, our Intellectual Property (IP) Manifesto set out recommendations for the future of this contentious issue.
Encompassing digital rights, archiving,
copyright, orphan and unpublished works,
the Manifesto seeks to strike the right
balance between protection and access.
We argue that the fair dealing rights
enshrined in print should have an
equivalent in the digital field in order to
foster enterprise and secure an innovative
and buoyant knowledge economy.
The IP Manifesto sets out the role that the
national library should play as a leading
voice and honest broker in the debate that
the e-revolution has generated.
