Art lawyer Simon Stokes gives a rundown on the current state of UK copyright law vis a vis the visual arts in the current Art Newpaper online, citing recent cases that have been making this one-time backwater into the subject of newsy bits like this one.

Meanwhile, the AP is also going after news aggregators, lowdown rustlers who take bits from other sources and re-post them on their own sites (gulp!)
Copycat, lazy rat!
