DEA and Employment Law
Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - 10:17
In talking about the Digital Economy Act at Networkshop I mentioned that from my limited knowledge of employment law the Act seemed to raise a few problems for employers. It turned out that one of the audience knew a real lawyer who has now looked into this and written an article confirming my fears.
Indeed since the article was published Ofcom have published for consultation their draft Code, which appears to make the position even worse for employers and rightsholders. Rather than receiving every tenth (or some fraction) infringement report, employers who are considered to be “subscribers” will now only receive one report per month, so even more employees will miss the opportunity to learn the error of their ways.
