The main legislation governing copyright issues, as amended by various additional regulations, is the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988 (UK wide). This specifies the rights of creators of dramatic, artistic (including photography), sound recording, broadcast and artistic works. To qualify, the work must be an original work, or a published edition of works, involving labour, skill or judgement. Copyright in the UK is automatic – it does not need to be specified on the work itself. However, the law in the UK is currently likely to undergo subtle amendments following the adoption of a recent [EU directive|http://europa.eu.int/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexapi!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=en&numdoc=32001L0029&model=guichett] that seeks to harmonise copyright regimes across Europe. This is likely to impact on definitions of 'fair dealing', restricting the current fair dealing exemptions to 'non-commercial' uses.
