ByAlamyIn a recent industry debate hosted by image agency Alamy the issue of ‘freenagers’ and their belief that all things on the internet are free was raised as causing concern, not just for the well documented and policed music and film industry but, for the professional photography industry too.
The generation that’s coming up, grew up with the internet, and the idea that the stuff on it is free is pervasive. It’s a huge problem and I don’t think we’ve reached the apex of the situation.Said Roy Clark, digital media and photography lecturer at City and Islington College.

ByICOMP Secretariat Following Google's recognition that its 95% market dominance on both PC and mobile based services may have harmed numerous companies across the Internet and acceptance of the Commission's "framework", ICOMP announces that a robust dialogue for resolving the many concerns raised will continue.
Commenting on the announcement David Wood, Counsel, ICOMP, said:
Google's acceptance of the Commission's "framework" and commitment to offer remedies for both PC and mobile based Internet was a hugely significant acknowledgement of their market power and illegal anti-competitive behaviour; we should soon discover whether they are serious about addressing the concerns raised not only by the Commission but also numerous companies over the last few years.

At the initiative of President Barroso, the European Commission has today held an orientation debate on content in the digital economy.
Brussels, 5 December 2012
The digital economy has been a major driver of growth in the past two decades, and is expected to grow seven times faster than overall EU GDP in coming years. Online, there are new ways of providing, creating and distributing content, and new ways to generate value. This represents a challenge and an opportunity for all the creative industries, authors and artists and other actors in the digital economy.

CEPIC endorses the Briefing Paper to the House of Lords. The document is supported by BAPLA and was produced by Serena Tierney, Head of Intellectual Property at Bircham Dyson Bell LLP (with strong connections and parliamentary agents).
The paper covers issues which require further scrutiny at parliamentary level:
orphan works
extended collective licensing
new exceptions to copyright
reduction of copyright terms for anonymous, pseudonymous and unpublished works
CEPIC agrees that the legislative proposals being put forward by the UK Government represent a 'serious threat' to the picture business and to rightsholders in their ability to generate income from copyright protection.
