Note that Beatles copyrights don't start to expire until 2013 - where does he
get the idea that it's 2010? Is this a deliberate oversight?

Hi all,

I received this letter from my MP, David Lepper, this morning, which
was a forwarded response from the DCMS (Department of Culture Media
and Sport). I have a sneaking suspicion that EMI are lobbying hard
and that the Government is somewhat sympathetic to the only remaining
big record label in the UK when it starts to talk about its money
running out....

- David

Dear David,

Thank you for your letter of 30 June to Tessa Jowell enclosing one
from your constituent, Mr David Berry of xxxxxxx, about the copyright
term on music.

The music industry is keen to see an extension of the copyright term
for sound recordings, which is currently set at 50 years. Many UK
recordings dating from the early 1960s - such as those by The Beatles
and the Rolling Stones - are still selling well, and companies like
EMI are concerned about their income streams once these recordings
start to go out of copyright from 2010.

Despite the report in the press we have not in fact made a decision
on whether the copyright term on music should be extended. We are,
however, discussing the issue with other Departments, and have now
reached agreement to commission an independent study to assess the =
pros and cons of change. Any change in copyright term would be a =
matter for EU law, so all relevant Government interests, as well as
our EU partners, would need to be convinced that change is justified
and in the best interests of UK stakeholders generally.

Yours

James Purnell MP
Minister for Creative Industries and Tourism

DCMS
