[Fsfe-uk] Friday afternoon copyright news

[MJ Ray]

Just seen http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,970219,00.html

Royal mail threatening to sue an artist for stamp copyright infringement.
Will the artist go all the way through to freedom of expression from the
Human Rights Act?  Won't all UK copyright law for literary and creative
works start to unravel if they win like that?  Computer programs are
classed as literary works.  Yikes.  Surely it can't be true?
