Subject: [Leica] Copyright explained by the UK Intellectual Property Office

The UK IPO is in my opinion one of the best IP offices in the world in terms 
of their research and outreach. They have recently embarked on a project to 
publish "copyright notices", or guides to copyright (a very complex issue) 
for ordinary people, written in understandable language. The first such 
guide concerns a subject of interest to use here, namely photographs:

Of course, this is specific to the UK, but much of it applies across the EU 
and indeed in other common law countries, i.e. the various former colonies.

Cheers,
Nathan
