摘要

This paper will consider copyright issues surrounding the various social media platforms within Web 2.0. It will particularly focus on UK copyright exceptions and will question whether the existing law provides adequate protection for the copyright user. In an attempt to answer this question, the paper will consider cases from the offline and online world and will discuss the UK Government s response to the EU Green paper on this issue.
