Hi Everybody,
I could also help with this.
I am extremely interested in exceptions and limitations + their overridibility by contractual means.
In one research I have been part of I was focusing on their InfoSoc directive´s framework - the framework by which UK proposals are being restricted to some extend.
Best, Martin
the UK is running a public consultation on changing its copyright law. Deadline is March 21.
It might be interesting to work on a submission on some specific points.
Best regards, Karsten
