In his big annual speech today, Gordon Brown, the UK chancellor, said that he wants to spend lots of money catching music and film pirates (who, in the UK, can't be penalised if they sell DVDs with hand-written labels. Only people who photocopy the covers can get in trouble). However, he also said that he wants to make it easier to produce 'transformative works' - i.e. bootlegs and mashups, like the Gray Album, The Avalanches original Gimix, A Night at the Hip-Hopera etc. The London Times says: "The report suggests that exemptions to copyright law should be allowed for “transformative works”. This would permit the use of copyright material in new and creative ways, so long as it did not detract from the value of that material or offend artistic integrity. It calls on the EU to amend the law to allow for that exception. It would allow “rappers” and other creators to rework old material."

Good to hear something is finally done about the stupidity of copyright law. Hopefully the EU will open their minds and see that music is no longer made like in the times where copyright law was introduced, and that part of it is just rediculous in the times we are living.

so what id ppl make loads of shit rmxs. there are already soo many about...whatever the laws, ppl will always be out there to rip off other ppls work...these laws will mean that people who really do wanna use samples ect for legit creative projects will be able to do so without breaking the bank to pay off some company for the rights.
