You could email Barbara Schleihagen, Eblida's Copyright Spokesperson,
and try to get an 'interview'. Her email address is eblida.nblc.nl.
Also try the Copyright Licensing Agency (cla@cla.co.uk).

Be brave and ask some definite questions! There is a danger that if you
ask very open questions, people will think that you want then to do your
work for you (I say that as a lecturer myself). The key skills you learn
on an academic course is the ability to gather information and analyse.
That is what will help you survive in the outside world. Have faith in
yourself, and be adventurous!
Best wishes,
Graham.
