Ministers reconsider changes to UK copyright law ahead of vote

Ministers are rethinking changes to copyright law before a vote in parliament next week, in a further concession to artists, the Guardian has learned. A source close to Peter Kyle, the technology secretary, said proposals to introduce an opt-out system of copyright rules was no longer his preferred option but one of several being given consideration. Kyle said: “We’re listening to the consultation and we are absolutely determined to get this right. We’re not going back to square one. We are moving forward.”
