Yes. Patents confer a true monopoly of limited duration as a reward for inventing a device capable of production for economic benefit. Copyright protects the creator from being copied.

Jack. Emma's definition of "public" is pretty closely the one the PRS asserts. It is not far from what precedent has determined.

Emma. Read my lips. It is not defined in legislation. If you think it is, cite the statute (that is to say, the Act of Parliament) and section. It is close to defined by precedent, which is something quite different. It may also be more flexible if someone withthe right case has the money totake it to the House of Lords (or "Supreme Court" as Mr B. Liar has renamed it)
