STEMPRA members had an excellent talk last November from
Graham Cornish, Copyright Law Advisor to the British Library. I'm
sure that if there is an answer to this question, he will know what it

Also, there's quite a lot of information copyright law at the CLA web
site at http://www.cla.co.uk. The NLA, which I mentioned in my

Hope this helps
