question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the effect of the Digital Economy Act 2010 in reducing copyright theft via the internet.
tabling member printed	Lord Birt
uin	HL339
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 24/06/2014 13:24:55 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
