I totally agree with Sandy. This is one example (another is a
reference to "research for commercial purposes", which is totally
meaningless) of a very poorly drafted piece of legislation.
I was once told that the Parliamentary draughtsmen who write the
legal texts for the UK Government are "the best in the world". That
was before I got involved in UK copyright law. I now believe they
are the worst in the world. They don't have the foggiest idea what
they are doing, and leave everyone - copyright owners and users - in
a state of total confusion.
