Dear Eleanor,
I
am a freelance journalist looking into reports that the NPR has threatened
legal action against a non-resident U.S. citizen.
The
following email has come into my possession, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dcoetzee/NPG_legal_threat
I
have contacted the culture secretary, shadow culture secretary, and a number of
organisations within the UK for comment.
I
would appreciate a statement of the NPR’s position on this, and if they
consider the current legislation that makes such threats possible appropriate
in the modern world.
Regards,
Brian
