The UK government is trying to bypass copyright of photographic images on line such that the media can use "orphan" online images in newspapers/magazines etc if they can "prove" they have been unable to find the copyright holder. The proposed legislation does not appear to define what would constitute proof.
How long before they try and find a way to grab music as well? Also how long before other governments follow suit?

It's a long document but worrying to see how they intend to achieve this.
