Proceeding contribution from Lord De Mauley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [HL].

Digital Economy Bill [HL]

This is a brief probing question to elicit more details from the Minister as to what he would consider an appropriate system for establishing whether a copyright owner has withdrawn consent for being included in one of these schemes. Will there be an equivalent of the orphan works register for collectively licensed works? If not, how is a copyright owner to know if someone is licensing off his material? Secondly, what sort of notification process will it be necessary for a copyright owner to negotiate to have his material removed from a scheme? Will he be able to withdraw the rights from some of his works, but not others? Will he be able to put some limited restrictions on them, such as for them not to be licensed to certain formats or certain people? I shall be quite happy for most of this to be answered in writing. I beg to move.
