“Copyright in photos is essentially going to cease to exist, since there is
no ineradicable way of associating ownership details short of plastering
your name right across the image. We’ve pressed for mandatory attribution
to deter orphans being made in the first place, but nobody is listening.
Publishers hate that idea, because it costs them money. Besides they are
major creators of orphans by stripping metadata, and fully intend to take
advantage of not knowing who made the photos they have anonymised. But
they are Industry of great weight and value to the economy, so their
lobbying is listened to and ours isn’t.”Once I saw the reference to “Peter Mandelson’s office” I knew that this would be an ill-thought-out bullish solution to a problem that the government won’t invest the time to understand.
What else would you expect from a twice-failed, unelected minister?
