[x-pubpol] Parliamentarians discuss UK copyright reform

[Joly MacFie]

The IPKat blog has some details of a recent UK Parliament hearing on
Copyright.

The piece concludes

The IPKat says, the UK lawmakers speak about IP in the same clumsy and
> hesitant terms as a British schoolchild might try conducting a conversation
> in French or German: the right words are there, and the dialogue probably
> sounds more authentic to the people saying them than to those of us who are
> reading them -- but at least they're trying and it's up to us to do our bit
> to encourage them to keep doing so.  And just as, in the case of
> schoolchildren, if you keep correcting them they get discouraged and give
> up, the same is likely to happen with lay legislators. We must strike the
> right note!
