I just found out about this today:
UK Government passes Instagram Act
If you take photographs, or paint, or otherwise make images that end up online, take the time to read the article. Not wholly sure of the ramifications as yet, but my spidey sense is tingling, and my knee jerk response to any and all government action is telling me it won't be to my advantage.
Just a year ago I tried to persuade several MEPs that copyright reform is a good thing, and an inevitable consequence of the internet's existence, and that they should vote against ACTA and the whinging of big copyright defenders like the MPAA and RIAA. Now I find myself in the embarrassing position of wondering if I was altogether correct.
