Stop43.org.uk

Stop43 is composed of members of The Association of Photographers, The British Institute of Professional Photography, The British Press Photographers’ Association, Copyright Action, EPUK, The National Union of Journalists and Pro-Imaging; professionals who were sufficiently concerned and motivated by the threat that the UK Digital Economy Bill "orphan works" Clause 43 posed to our livelihoods that we took direct action. We had the support of the 16,000 members of the ten organisations listed on our website, and that of thousands of photographers, as proven by their direct lobbying action that resulted in Clause 43 being removed from the Digital Economy Bill.

Since then we have been joined by professional illustrators and members of the cultural heritage sector who understand and support our position and have contributed to this submission.

Stop43 has devised an integrated legal and technical solution to the orphan works problem and ongoing problems with digital copyright and are actively promoting it to legislatures and other interested parties.

Stop43 is very actively involved in the UK consultation process following the publication of the Hargreaves Review of Intellectual Property.

Stop43 is an unfunded voluntary effort by private individuals.
