“Back in the old days we used to have something called a CD collection,” Shirky said facetiously. “It was something like keeping the box that the Amazon books came in, but you kept the container the music was in all the time…If somebody else came over to my house and said, ‘That Vanilla Ice track is slammin’!

The digital economy bill is driven by incompetence, not malice. Ably assisted by a three-line whip. And what justified incompetence! The copyright situation in this country is utterly confusing.

From the article:
“Buying a book or a piece of music should be regarded as a license to enjoy it on any platform. Sadly, the anachronistic conventions of bookselling and copyright law lag the technology.”
