UK rejects music copyright extension
Tue Jul 24, 2007 9:00am EDT

By Kate Holton

LONDON (Reuters) - The British government rejected a plea to extend
copyright laws for sound recordings to beyond 50 years on Tuesday,
prompting the music industry to accuse it of not supporting musicians and
artists.

The music industry had won support from opposition politicians and a
parliamentary committee in its bid for a copyright extension that would
allow veterans such as Cliff Richard and Paul McCartney to carry on
receiving royalties in later life.

The government would have had to push the European Commission for a change
in the law but said such a move did not seem appropriate as it would not
benefit the majority of performers and could lead to increased costs.

"The UK is a world-beating source of great music, so it is frustrating
that on the issue of copyright term the government has shown scant respect
for British artists and the UK recording industry," John Kennedy, head of
the IFPI body which represents the international recording industry, said
in a statement.

"Some of the greatest works of British music will soon be taken away from
the artists who performed them and the companies that invested in them."
