I've read the article, and I think the point of it is this quote (precisely the only part not quoted by the author of this topic
):
Quote:
ALCS CEO Owen Atkinson said that if copyright exceptions were brought in, they should be accompanied by compensation.
“The UK is very much out of kilter with the rest of Europe in terms of the way it deals with private copying,” Atkinson said. “The way the European model works is that on top of the cost of a photocopier or MP3 player or DVD player, there is a small amount added to recognise that there is a value in all the creative content.”
