t of the access to copyrighted material that is currently allowed is aligned with the classical liberal, free market capitalism approach to rights. The view that currently predominates and which is reflected in the current law regarding copyright in the UK may be seen as being aligned to modern constructions of liberalism that reflect a mixture of free market capitalist view and rights based ideologies. Thus the idea that users have rights to access copyrighted material where there is a public interest in allowing them to do so may be seen as a reflection of the prevailing political ideology adopted by New Labour, and in existence in varied constructions prior to the advent of New Labour.

其他-Exceptions

There are a variety of exceptions to copyright law, and the main categories of exceptions are those for visually impaired people, 'communications to the public right', temporary copies, fair dealing both for private study as well as for criticism and review, academic instruction, librarian copying, broadcasting within educational institutions and time-shift recordings ().

Visually impaired people

People who have visual impairments benefit from an exception to copyright law, which has been further refined by the Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003. There are two ways to take advantage of this exception. Firstly a visually impaired person may make a copy of copyrighted material for their own personal use of that material in an accessible form (such as for example in large text).

The second category within this exception may only be taken advantage of by an educational institution, or a not for profit body and such a body may make multiple copies of copyrighted material in order to provide accessible copies of the material to visually impaired people, however the author must remain named, the distribution of the work must not interfere with legitimate exploitation of the work.

Making temporary copies

This is where a temporary copy of copyrighted material is made as a result of a technological process. An example of this is where a computer makes a copy of copyrighted material that is retained in a computer cache and it must be remembered that while this exception applies to literary, musical and artistic works, as well as sound recordings and films, it does not apply to databases and computer programmes.

Fair dealing - private study

This exception permits copying of copyrighted material, without the permission of the author for the purposes of private study. The copy must never to related either directly or indirectly to a commercial purpose. Further there must be an adequate acknowledgement of the authorship of the piece.

Fair dealing -criticism/review

This exception permits copying of copyrighted material without the prior permission of the author where this is done solely for the purpose of reviewing the work. For this exception to operate the work must have already been made available to the public, and the authorship of the work must also be sufficiently acknowledged. The changes made to this exception to copyright laws have implications for those who seek to review unpublished works, such as those held in archives or libraries.
