The UK Government has revised copyright law which will legalize
CD and DVD copying for personal use. The changes go into effect in June, and will also broaden other forms
of fair use, including parody and quotation rights. Although most people have
been doing it for decades the UK bowed to pressure from the content industry to
keep the practice illegal.

After a public consultation, and realizing that being one of
the few countries in Europe where it was illegal the UK Government decided to
side with consumers for once. Starting in July people are free to make copies
of DVDs, CDs and other types of media, as long as it’s for personal use. The UK’s Intellectual Property Office said that
the changes will mean that you will be able to copy a book or film you have
purchased for one device onto another without infringing copyright.
More controversial are the changes that will mean that
people can legally store copies of their music and movies in the cloud. If you
give, others access to your files you can expect to be sued by big content.
Also controversial is a change which will allow
people are free to sell any media they purchase, but all backup copies will
have to be destroyed.
A Government-commissioned survey, which found that 85% of consumers already thought that
DVD and CD ripping, was legal.
