@Fandyllic Don't forget everyone's favourite party, the Liberal Democrats. Joking aside, Brexit is a mess and at this point it's actually debatable whether the UK will leave or not.

On copyright law in general, I think that the whole thing needs to be taken apart and redrafted. Specifically the section that governs fair use, and the length of copyright, before debating about who is ultimately responsible for ensuring copyright standards are maintained for the rights holders (not always the creators/authors of the original work). Currently copyright stands at the lifetime of the author plus 70 years, for works created after 1st Jan 1978. This law is seriously outdated and puts a cap on creativity.
