Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what his policy is on the development by ISPs and copyright owners of Creative Content UK, a programme of education about legal entertainment services, and alerts to subscribers found to have been uploading content illegally online; and what effects he expects the development to have on the implementation of the Digital Economy Act 2010.
This question was answered on 1st September 2014
The Government warmly welcomed the initiative by copyright owners and ISPs of setting up Creative Content UK, and has pledged £3.5 million over three years to support the educational campaign that will complement the process. An industry-led solution has always been our preferred approach, and so Government will not progress the relevant provisions within the Digital Economy Act 2010 at this time. However, they will remain available if a legislative solution becomes necessary.
