Which bit of EU law? I figure if I can understand this in more detail, then I could write to my MP.
EDIT:
Seems this is actually to align EU and UK law:
> The repeal of s. 52 was brought in by statute - by section 74 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. The rationale for the repeal was that UK law was incompatible with the EU following the Court of Justice of the European Union's decision in Flos v Semeraro (Case C-168/09). The purpose of the repeal was to align the period of copyright protection across all artistic works and to eradicate inconsistencies between the term of protection afforded by copyright in different Member States.

In real life, does anybody actually expect them to pay attention, and not directly toss all these mails in the dustbin (or e-dustbin)?
- blowski 11y agoDepends on your MP. I have a pretty good local MP (David Amess, Southend West) and he does represent constituent views in Parliament. Of course, whether the government will in turn listen to him is questionable, but it's still a good course of action.
- yarrel 11y agoIn my experience they do pay attention. Mine responded and even helped.
