EU backs controversial copyright law

Critics of Europe's Parliament-backed copyright law say it will change the internet.

Critics of Europe's Parliament-backed copyright law say it will change the internet. Robert Ashcroft is chief executive of the UK's Performing Rights Society, and tells us why his organisation supports the move. Intellectual property lawyer Kathy Berry of Linklaters explains that there may be grey areas in the new legislation. And Pascal Fouquet, organiser of a campaign opposed to the new legislation called Save the Internet discusses his opposition to the law. Meanwhile British MEP Sajjad Karim argues that the directive had been subject to a huge amount of debate and scrutiny. Also in the programme, in the wake of two crashes of Boeing 737 Max planes, Dai Whittingham, chief executive of the UK Flight Safety Committee tells us he thinks airlines and plane manufacturers are keeping safety training to an 'absolute minimum'. Plus we hear the views of pilots who have spoken to the 大象传媒 about their concerns.
