This is huge and has implications for the media as well, so it is very important and is up to date. One of the first Bills I dealt with here was the Copyright Bill 2000. The preceding Act had been enacted in 1963, when people were worried about the impact of the advent of television. In 2000, we were worried about the advent of the Internet, but now we have gone way beyond that. It is developing as we speak and getting increasingly invasive. We will move on to aspects of succession law.
