Beeban Kidron is a crossbench peer in the House of Lords .
He says the government's plan to undermine copyright law undermines the moral right to your work and income.
The plan is a charter for theft, since creatives would have no idea who is taking what, when and from whom.
A win for the government is a catastrophe for the creative industries, he says.
