"Under the Terms of Reference for this Inquiry, the ALRC is to
consider whether exceptions and statutory licences in the Copyright Act
1968 are adequate and appropriate in the digital environment and whether
further exceptions should be recommended. The Inquiry recognises the
emerging digital economy and the need to ensure copyright law provides
incentives for investment in innovation and content while also allowing
appropriate access to that content so that Australia’s needs in the
internet age are met, both domestically and internationally... The Issues Paper forms a basis for consultation and asks more than 50
questions relevant to how the current copyright framework is affecting
both commercial and creative enterprise and how current exceptions and
statutory licences are working in the digital environment. The Issues
Paper provides background information, highlights the issues so far
identified in research and consultations, and outlines the principles
that will shape the ALRC’s proposals for reform. The ALRC invites
individuals and organisations to make submissions in response to the
questions contained in the Issues Paper, or to any of the background
material and analysis provided. This community input will help inform
the development of draft recommendations for reform to be released in a
Discussion Paper due in mid 2013."
The Issues Paper is available free of charge from the ALRC website. The ALRC prefers submissions via the ALRC online submission form: www.alrc.gov.au/content/copyright-and-digital-economy-online-submission. Written submissions can also be posted, faxed or emailed to the ALRC.
Postal address GPO Box 3708 Sydney NSW 2001.
Closing date for submissions is Friday 16 November 2012.
