Gowers in all its glory

Here it is. I like the focus on balance, the keeping of the 50 year sound recording term, and proposals for private copying exceptions without a levy. Also welcome (in respect of large scale piracy and counterfeiting) more resources for criminal prosecutions - hopefully new exceptions should avoid these being focussed on more legitimate users of IP protected works - the report does seem to recognise the need for this. Also like broader research exemption for patents - although will wait and see what it actually says.
