The Australian Law Reform Commission is having an Inquiry into Copyright law. They are examining whether the current exceptions in the Act need to be modified in the context of what they call "the emerging digital economy". http://www.alrc.gov.au/news-media/media-release/alrc-seeks-input-copyright-law-reform
While their extensive list of questions appear to me to predominantly centre around text and audiovisual materials (for example, issues such as format shifting, archival, and data mining), any changes they recommend will of course affect software too. The Commission is seeking input from interested parties up until mid November, and have an online submission form. http://www.alrc.gov.au/content/copyright-and-digital-economy-online-submission Glenn -- sks-keyservers.net 0xb1e82ec9228ac090 _______________________________________________ Free-software-melb mailing list [email protected] http://lists.softwarefreedom.com.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/free-software-melb
