Interesting article in the Guardian last week.

Three main points wrt ebooks:
1. Public Lending Right to be extended to audio and ebooks
2. Attempts to "reduce on-line piracy and copyright theft"
3. Orphan works; extension/licensing of copyright/performers' rights

I don't know why the ability to licence orphaned works gets bundled up with copyright extension - it's over-extended as it is.
