In Nov. 2023, the UK Court of Appeals put forth a ruling in THJ v Sheridan that benefits open culture. It clarified that to satisfy the originality requirement under UK copyright law, works must reflect the author’s creative choices and personal touch, excluding works created under technical or rule-based constraints. This aligns with Creative Commons’ view that digital reproductions of public domain materials should not be copyrighted; however, many cultural institutions still claim copyrights over such reproductions. This ruling is expected to enhance participation in the UK’s cultural heritage sector. Article here: https://creativecommons.org/2024/01/18/uk-court-clears-path-for-open-culture-to-flourish/
