One person in government, granted anonymity to discuss a live policy issue, emphasized that the government will take its time. They stressed the consultation had been an important part of formulating the policy, rather than a fait accompli, adding: “There’s a danger that we get this badly wrong.”
A second person in government denied suggestions a climbdown was in the works, but said further engagement with the industry will now follow on what is a “very difficult, technical issue.” They added: “We always said we would need to see real progress on technical solutions before implementing any possible changes. That’s something we have been consistent on.”
A third person in government insisted solutions were achievable and “we don’t want to kick this into the long grass.”
But industry lobbyists involved in discussions played down the chances of a breakthrough given the distance between the creative and tech sectors on this issue and the ferocity of lobbying to date. One lobbyist involved in discussions said both sides are “digging their heels in” and are further apart than when the consultation began.
A DSIT spokesperson told POLITICO: “No final decisions have been taken. We are carefully considering the consultation responses and continue to engage with tech companies, the creative industries, and Parliament to inform our approach.”
“We have always been clear that no changes will be made until we are absolutely confident we have a practical plan that delivers on each of our objectives,” they added.
