Paragraph: 29
Lack of UK private copying scheme threatens creators' reciprocal payments from abroad.
Conclusion
Revenue from private copying from abroad is an important source of income for creators, remunerating them for the use of their works that is integral to the demand for electronic devices. Not only does a lack of such a scheme in the UK prevent British creators from receiving payments from the domestic market, but it has also put their payments from abroad under threat due to a lack of reciprocity with other countries.
