UK misses EU Copyright Directive deadline

(apologies if this was posted before... didn't notice it in the
archives)

It's a little christmas present for those of us in the UK
working on this stuff... Hopefully it staves off any cease
and desist letters for a while longer. Not so good for any
Greeks  or Danes though (do we have any Greeks or Danes
on list?)

The (very, very pro-copyright-holder) Reuters article they
reference quotes a UK Patent Office official as saying they
won't get their act together until at least March 31... Shame.

Pete.
