Subject: National Portrait Gallery threat of legal action
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 McNeil
