Creative Coalition Campaign welcomes passage of DEB
April 8, 2010
Christine Payne, Chairperson of the Creative Coalition Campaign, said:
"Today marks a groundbreaking day for the UK's creative industries. On behalf of the businesses and trade unions represented by the Creative Coalition Campaign, we want to thank members of both Houses for voting to support our sector against the damaging effects of online piracy. For too long, this illegal activity has been threatening the livelihoods of thousands of workers throughout our sector.
"Looking to the future, we now face the challenge of ensuring that the system outlined in the Bill functions properly in order to allow industry to focus on developing new business models that can flourish without having to compete with illegal file-sharing, downloading and streaming. Only with this protection will the UK's creative industries be able to continue to invest in the TV programmes, films, books, sporting events and music which are loved by millions across the UK and throughout the world."
