Help Keep These Old Sounds Alive - Copyright Extension Latest News
The European Parliament agreed on 23 April to extend the term of copyright protection for sound recordings from the current 50 years to 70 years in all 27 EU member states. This still has to be agreed by the Council of Ministers and brought into UK legislation. As currently proposed, it should have little impact on the continuing re-issue of music hall material. Thanks are due to all those who campaigned against the original proposal for 95 years.
