Amendments to Copyright Laws Affect Australia
Attorney General said copyright laws are important in protecting rights of
both copyright owners and users
The Copyright Act is constantly amended to protect interests and to boost global trade,
the Attorney General, Mr Phillip Ruddock said yesterday. ...
Copyright protection for photographs is also extended to the life of the author plus 50
years, making it the same as other types of artistic work. ...
The Copyright Law Review Committee will review Australia governments claim of
copyright ownership over department and agency materials such as Acts of Parliament,
thus shaping the ownership and use of public information.
In view of advancing digital technology, the Attorney General said amendments have been
made to the Copyright Act since it took effect in March 2001 to provide certainty for
technology industries and reasonable access for end users.
