[A2k] Submission of the USA to the WIPO SCCR on "netcasting" published on WIPO web page

[Michelle Childs]

 Looking at the unofficial consolidated text of UK legislation on the
Patent Office site it appears that the UK definition is slightly
narrower as it
a)        specifically excludes any internet  transmission unless it falls
into the three areas (a-c)
b)        does not refer to near simultaneous reception.

However this is only the unofficial version and I am looking through other
texts to double check the position,  but  while I do does any one else
know if this is the final UK position?

UK legislation ( from unofficial consolidated text)

Excepted from the definition of "broadcast" is any internet transmission
unless it
is =96
(a) a transmission taking place simultaneously on the internet and by
other means,
(b) a concurrent transmission of a live event, or
(c) a transmission of recorded moving images or sounds forming part of a
programme service offered by the person responsible for making the
transmission, being a service in which programmes are transmitted at
scheduled times determined by that person.
