Description: This leaflet sets out an overview of the changes to the copyright exceptions coming into law in June 2014. The changes are being made to bring copyright law up to date and make it more readily applicable to the digital age. This leaflet advises creators and rights holders that the existence of a copyright exception does not change who owns the copyright to a work, and that, although in most cases, rights holders will be able to prohibit or licence use of their material, in some cases, the new exceptions will mean that the user may be within their rights to use the work without authorisation or a licence.
