Tech Weekly Podcast: Jim Killock on why UK online culture is no joke

This week on Tech Weekly with Aleks Krotoski we discuss planned changes to the UK's copyright laws that would protect people who engage in online parodies using film clips and acknowledge that copying a CD on to an mp3 device for personal use should not be illegal. Jim Killock from Open Rights Group, a leading campaign group in this area, tells Aleks why changes planned by the government for 1 June will make our digital culture all the stronger.

Aleks is also joined by the Guardian tech team, Jemima Kiss, Charles Arthur, Keith Stuart and Alex Hern to discuss tax breaks for the UK games sector, the demise of Last.fm and the rise of Spotify, and why Amazon is planning to roll out "anticipatory shopping" software.
