Within this theme we assess current proposals for UK copyright reform as well as the impact of EU and international copyright reform on UK policy, as well as examining various models for copyright enforcement, their success as well as their economic and societal costs. At present, research within this theme is being carried out across eight projects:
- Policy and lawmaking in the digital age
- Regulating the Collecting Societies
- Self enforcing IP law: life after DRM
- Copyright and Civil Enforcement
- Public/intermediary enabled copyright enforcement
- Assessing the IP Small Claims track
- Just Copyright: Copyright History and Policy
- IP Dispute Resolution: Digital evidence, e-discovery and the changing costs of litigation
