Is the whole question of Crown copyright that important? I'm asking the question, because I understand that a government publication cannot be copied in its entirety, contrary to what is done in the United States.
However, that publication can be used for just about any purpose. If, for instance, a journalist quotes a government document, he is not breaking any rules. If the media receives a report on public accounts, on Parliament's budget or some other subject, it can release that report to the newspapers, to television, or post it on their blog. Professors can discuss it. I understand the principle. However, from a practical standpoint , how important is Crown copyright?
