There is a strong argument that copyright is a self-employment right. If so, surely it is also an employment right for the purposes of this Bill if amendments on the self-employed are admissible—which they have been. Indeed, we had an amendment in this Bill on extending adoption rights to the self-employed, the only such amendment so far for the extension of rights to the self-employed, in Committee in either the Commons or the Lords. This is a right, of course, that the self-employed do not possess, unlike copyright, which is a right they do possess, but the threat to which needs to be considerably better addressed. I simply float that idea out there.
