So how will this affect factual wikis (of which there are a number) and wikis which are mainly user generated/has been posted on Creative Commons-type websites (or use 'see here for further information' to get round potential copyright issues)?

Given how often 'the actual legislation' when passed tends to be very much watered down from the original proposal, do not panic yet. Given the large numbers of websites (wiki and non-wiki) which are likely to be involved, and the 'allowed usages' in the rest of the media etc (and 'sorry Chief Legal Officer we cannot undertake your vital legal case because we have [tens of thousands] of copyvio cases which will cost far more than any fines levied before the courts' will not go down well).

There is a symbiotic relationship between 'companies, authors and others' and the wikis/other websites which mention them/the fanbase - and #the originators of the copyright material can edit the relevant pages on the wikis# to remove copyvio material/link to their website etc.

To the present - how many cases have there been of 'copyright originators' complaining about copyright material on wiki-sites in general?
