January 23rd 2008 02:11
US-based Boing Boing reports that he Australian Attorney-General's department is inviting submissions from the public on copying of movies and images in different formats for private use.
Boing Boing reported, “These were sections of the Copyright Amendment Act introduced in December 2006 that made it legal for Aussies to do things they'd been doing for decades, such as recording a TV broadcast to tape or disc, but illegal to watch such recordings more than once!”
The minister is required by the act to review these exceptions after two years and is now inviting comment.
