The British Library has compiled a new report from the research community that looks at the UK's existing intellectual property framework - reflecting the challenges researchers face on a daily basis. The report titled 'Driving UK Research - Is copyright a help or a hindrance?' calls for a consensus across all sectors on the need for reform to meet the demands of a modernising world.
Sourced directly from researchers, this report presents a 'grassroots view' of the current copyright framework in the UK. Looking at the barriers they encounter on a daily basis, the contributors' feedback not only highlights the obstructions to creativity but also put forward proposals for reforming UK intellectual property legislation to reflect the needs of today's researcher.
The report is available online at http://www.bl.uk/ip/pdf/drivingukresearch.pdf. It has been published under a Creative Commons licence, enabling others to copy, distribute, and make derivative non-commercial works.
