Part 4: Intellectual property Section 34: Copyright etc. where broadcast retransmitted by cable
This section repeals section 73 of the 1988 Act, which provided that the copyright in the broadcast of public service broadcaster channels (and the copyright in any work included in the broadcast) was not infringed where the broadcast was retransmitted by cable. This amounted to an exemption for cable providers from paying copyright fees to retransmit the core public service broadcaster channels.
