Is copyright going wrong?
Copyright law has been around since 1710. Back then it only applied to books. Now, it covers music, sport, film, television, video games, anything really.
It was also much easier to enforce in the days when people couldn't reproduce things all the time. That all started to change with the introduction of the humble music cassette tape. Now, we can all copy things and publish them to social media whenever we like.
Devices which can circumvent geographical barriers have meant that streaming services have had to rethink their business models. And no-one knows quite yet the potential AI has to change things.
So is it time that copyright law had a reboot?
Evan Davis is joined by:
Lisa Ormrod, copyright lawyer and Associate Director at Springbird Law
Nathalie Curtis Lethbridge, Founder of Atonik Digital which advises on streamed content and monetisation strategy
John McVay, Chief Executive of PACT, the trade body for independents working in the UK screen industry
PRODUCTION TEAM:
Producers: Alex Lewis, Drew Hyndman and Miriam Quayyum
