Internet Service Providers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what representations his Department has received from internet service providers on safe harbour provisions.

Answer

The Government has not received any representations from internet service providers on the exemption from liabilities ("safe harbour") provisions contained within the eCommerce Directive. Some rights holders have expressed concern that the exemption from liabilities provisions are no longer necessary in their current form. The UK government recently published its vision for the future of the digital economy in the EU, and we will continue to seek the views of all stakeholders in developing our policy in this area.
