What is this?
The Act includes provisions about:

* the online infringement of copyright, including copyright and performers’ rights and about penalties for infringement
* the functions of Ofcom
* Internet domain registries
* the functions of the Channel Four Television Corporation
* the regulation of television and radio services
* the regulation of the use of the electromagnetic spectrum
* the Video Recordings Act 1984
* public lending right in relation to electronic publications
* amendment of the Communications Act 2003 requiring Internet service providers (ISPs) to disclose details of customers who repeatedly infringe copyright, on production of sufficient evidence, with a possible fine of £250,000 for non-compliance
* the requirement that ISPs block access to sites that allow "substantial" infringement[4]

The bill proposes further measures allowing for the "temporary suspension" of Internet connections for repeat infringers of copyright following warnings from their ISP.

Other provisions in the bill include an amendment to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 to increase the criminal liability for "making or dealing with infringing articles" and "making, dealing with or using illicit recordings" to a maximum of £50,000, so long as it is done during the course of a business.

Regulation of content is also in the bill, which adopts the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) standard for video game ratings. The UK government is also able directly to intervene to control the use of the UK's domain name space, currently overseen by the independent body Nominet.

The bill also includes proposed changes to DAB radio in the United Kingdom including the reorganisation and merging of some of the local DAB ensembles[5] and a requirement for a digital switchover of terrestrial radio in the United Kingdom.[6]
