danpsmith writes "The BBC has an article about a government report which proposes new powers against copyright infringement. Interestingly, however, it also says that 'private users should be allowed to copy music from a CD to their MP3 player' and further 'recommends the 50-year copyright protection for recorded music should not be extended,' saying, 'The ideal IP system creates incentives for innovation, without unduly limiting access for consumers and follow-on innovators.' While satisfied with most of the report, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) says it will 'continue to press for the copyright extension.'"
