Govt Copyright Group Publish Recommendations
A series of recommendations have been published that seek to adapt copyright law "for the digital age".
The government-appointed Copyright Review Committee has published its report, proposing changes to copyright law.
Made up of academics, copyright experts and lawyers, the group has called for the creation of a Copyright Council of Ireland, which would be an "independent self-funding organisation" to protect copyright, while also "encouraging innovation".
Alongside this, the group recommend that a specialist intellectual property court be established in the Circuit Court.
