Professional and amateur photographers will have to face changes to UK’s copyright law, which has been modified in order to allow others to use pictures posted in sites like Instagram, Flickr and Facebook. New changes are included in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act, a package of measures which was passed by Britain’s Parliament on April 26th and moves power from citizens to US companies. Pictures published in these websites are copyrighted because they have an author. However, when creators cannot be contacted, images can be considered as “orphan works” and can be used without permission, the Act affirms. Despite campaigners against the law saying this makes exploitation of images posted on the internet easier, the UK government said the act made “copyright licensing more efficient.”
