"A blanket implementation of some of the general recommendations [as site blockers and format shift] with no clear evidence that they promote the UK creative economy, is not the best approach and a lot of work is required to view some of these refine ideas "said Lavinia Carey, Director General of the British Video Association.

But Neil Mohring, partner at law firm Eversheds, said that format shift their elimination is an anachronistic law will make little difference.

"Although the announcement of shape shifting has received much press, the proposed measures will have little tangible effect overall," he said. "Format shifting has been occurring for many years without the copyright holder, so that the proposed changes will only formally the current position."

The government 's proposals, which again all 10 of the recommendations put forward by Professor Ian Hargreaves' s report on intellectual property in May, a one-stop Amazon-style digital exchange of intellectual property, the sale of content easier and more profitable.

"The Hargreaves review contains a number of proposals, which if performed without careful consideration could be harmful audiovisual for Britain 's industry which need to be sure unintentionally. [A blanket implementation of a number of general recommendations, such as site blockers and format shift] with no clear evidence that they promote the UK creative economy, is not the best approach and a lot of work is needed to refine some of these ideas ".

"The government has recognized that the blocking of these sites could help to reduce the concentration of the injury, but it does a better framework, which allows more rapid effect than would be possible under the relevant provisions of DEA. Government must now act urgently to the space provided effective means to protect consumers, creators and UK jobs from the effects of illegal foreign sites. to do a failure, is some \ in the country's leading industries damaged beyond repair on this government 's to . \ see "

"Rogue websites that are operated with impunity and without licenses is an obstacle to the growth of a real market for creative work. Ultimately, their existence at the expense of British jobs and the British economy."

Peter Bradwell, an activist with the Open Rights Group

"There is some discord in plans for the Digital Economy Act. In particular, charging people ? 20 against copyright warnings calling is unfair. The evidence against alleged infringers is likely to be unreliable. The government should follow the Intellectual Property Office 's new IP crime strategy and rebuild their enforcement of copyright policy from the ground up, driven by evidence and a proper public consultation. "

Don Foster, Liberal Democrat culture, media and co-chair

"Ofcom should to be commended shipping country Labour 's site-blocking law in the trash. Site-blockers may sometimes be necessary, but that doesn' t apologize for the Digital Economy Act 's tired of trying to activate it. ISPs and rights holders must now develop a simple solution. The complaint should be stopped on a large scale without the risk of each site under the sun. "

Ivan Lewis, Labour shadow culture secretary

"There are still more questions than answers for a Conservative-led government which has taken more than a year to come forward with proposals which are essential for jobs and growth. The government's decision not to proceed with site-blocking regulations in the Digital Economy Act leaves considerable uncertainty about the future. The government is now under pressure to show leadership and ensure there are effective and efficient measures put in place to stop sites from infringing copyright."

"To really the issue of online copyright infringement has ISPA that the content industry, driving new attractive business models in the light of the developments brought about by the Internet, instead takes to develop reproduction of existing models.'s Commitment DEA implementation, despite the flawed evidence base, it underpins is disappointing.

Neil Mohring, partner at law firm Eversheds

"The government has dealt with the issue of piracy thing, if it is prescribed to reduce the growth of creative industries. There is little incentive for the makers, especially in small companies when unauthorized copying is not addressed, and measures such as easing the rules on the parody merely scratches the surface. Although the announcement of shape shifting has received much press, the proposed measures will have little tangible effect overall. format shift has been occurring for many years without action by the copyright owner, so that the proposed changes merely formalizes the current position.
