[Ecommerce] 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)=09specifically excludes any internet  tranmission unless it falls into
the three areas (a-c)
b)=09does 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.
