Granted, it may have changed since the 80s, I don't know, but the allegations made by the British music industry would seem to back up that there IS some sort of statute (at least according to Destroyer's news link), or they wouldn't be spending money going to court over it (most likely...You can sue for anything, but if you're complaining about record sale losses, the worst way to ensure more profits is to sue in an unwinnable lawsuit, resulting in further profit losses).

This is true, but such is the state of this country's legal system right now (at least this is how it appears to me) that anything that isn't set in stone by the european governing bodies applying to the EU as a whole, rather than individual member states, can be overturned by them. I'm pretty sure this might fall under some sort of restriction of trade law somewhere...maybe
