I won't particularly go into detail this press release from the British Film Council, that's a bit off topic here. For the full press release visit.

What's of note, is the recommendation of the report...
"Increasing co-operation with the EU and international trade organisations to encourage better intellectual property rights across the world."
I can imagine that in the near future we'll see the UK Film Council pushing for the extension of copyright.
"Better" copyright ALWAYS equals "LONGER" copyright in contexts written by WIPO and the publishing industry. What WE need to do is introduce "copyright reform" to enourage the preservation of culture / the public domain. Without copyright reform nothing in the future will go into the public domain.
