The government consulted on potential changes to how foreign performers and producers of sound recordings qualify for certain rights in UK copyright law.
In response to evidence submitted at consultation, the government has decided to make a limited change to how foreign performers qualify for these rights. There will be no change to how foreign producers qualify for these rights.
The government response summarises views received at consultation, more detail on our chosen approach, and why we are taking it.
The government would like to thank everyone who responded to the consultation.
