Abstract
The article analyses how the European armonization of intellectual property has expanded the UK’s Copyright. The article will start by explaining in which sense the expression expansion needs to be understood. Secondly, the article will discuss how the ruling in Infopaq International A/S v. Danske Dagblades Forening has prompted an expansion of UK copyright’s fundamental concepts. Thirdly, the article will analyse how the judicial interpretations of originality, subject matter, and infringement have changed post-Infopaq. It will be concluded that the change of interpretation has expanded the copyright system, having negative effects on users’ freedoms and favouring authors’ property claims.Keywords:
