Overview[]
The Digital Economy Act 2010 (c. 24) is an Act of the U.K. Parliament. The Act implements many of the recommendations set out in the Digital Britain Final Report that require legislation.
The Act addresses media policy issues related to digital media, including copyright infringement, Internet domain names, Channel 4 media content, local radio and video games. Introduced to Parliament on 20 November 2009, it received Royal Assent on April 8, 2010. It came into force two months later, with some exceptions: several sections (5, 6, 7, 15, 16(1) and 30 to 32) came into force immediately, while others required a Statutory Instrument before they would come into force.
