It's now LEGAL to do "home taping" for your own personal use, in the UK!
"Format Shifting" has been legalised in the UK for the first time in fucking forever!
You can now, finally, legally record tonight's Corrie, or the next Doctor Who, or even tape the Top 40 off the radio.
Bloody 'ell!!!

ITS TEH FEWCHAR!!!!


As an extra surprise gift, they've also decided that Parodies are copyright-safe, with pretty much the same rules as are expected of Parodies.
You can "take the piss", but not "directly copy the whole fucking thing, then brand it as a parody, in the hope you can get away with it"

So, yeah, big changes in Copyright Law, and about fucking time, too..

It seems like that new law may not be worth a wank.
