‘Copyright should give artists the first chance to make money from their work…. We will legalise use of copyright works where no money changes hands, which will return to the people various rights including … a right to share files between friends and peers…. Counterfeiting and profiting directly from other people’s work without paying them will remain illegal.’What would there be to stop one person buying a song, film or book legally and then sharing it with everyone else in the world legally, leaving the original artist with only one sale?
