[edit] Current Consultations

These consultations are currently open. Please help us respond:

Consultation on legislative options to address illicit P2P file-sharing - This consultation is intended to set out and gather views on a proposal for a co-regulatory approach that could be adopted in order to facilitate and ensure co-operation between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and rights holders to address the problem of illicit use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing technology to exchange unlawful copies of copyright material. This takes forward Recommendation 39 of the Gowers Review of Intellectual Property which addressed the issue of illicit use of P2P. The consultation also identifies and seeks views on other potential options and calls for evidence on issues related to illicit use of P2P.

[edit] Volunteers Meetings

We attempt to hold an informal volunteers meeting once a month. These take place in London, but are also transcribed onto the #openrightsgroup IRC channel on irc.freenode.net (http://www.freenode.net), for those that cannot attend in person.
