<p>The online infringement of copyright provisions within the Digital Economy Act
2010 have not yet been implemented, and so no such assessment has been carried out.
The delay is due to a number of factors, including legal challenge and ensuring compliance
with Government “Managing Public Money” principles. In the meantime the Government
has encouraged the industry to investigate a voluntary copyright alert programme,
which should produce similar results in a significantly shorter timescale. I am grateful
to the industry for the energy with which they have picked up this challenge. Nevertheless,
unless an effective alternative is put in place, Government continues to be committed
to implementation of the provisions with the Digital Economy Act.</p>
