This actually sounds potentially quite serious for any tog that sells images, or any tog that intends to in the future.
If it's true then the government want to change copyright law to "allow free and unhindered reproduction of photographs without payment or credit on non-commercial websites".

I came across this on flickr and thought it was worth searching the forum here to see if you all knew about it.

This link should work

It will only go back to pre 1984 - photographys already changing so professionals offer the images with a licence to print and a cd of all the images. It will be like it is now, benefit some more than others but not a complete solution.

I've been on the disadvantaged side and the advantaged side of the current law and if its changed it will still be just as confusing as what it is currently.
