Subject: FW: ADA launches copyright information microsite, #copywrong<br>To: <a href="mailto:IP-ENFORCEMENT@roster.wcl.american.edu">IP-ENFORCEMENT@roster.wcl.american.edu</a><br><br><br>Good morning everyone,<br>
<br>
Today the ADA launched a copyright microsite, <a href="http://www.faircopyright.com.au" target="_blank">www.faircopyright.com.au</a>,<UrlBlockedError.aspx> pulling out some of the copyright issues facing various sectors in Australia in light of the ongoing government inquiry into Australian copyright exceptions. It picks out some glaring examples of digital uses/innovation being restricted by our current copyright laws, and (tries) to convey them in a fairly simple manner.<br>
<br>
The examples are not new, but we don't know that they've cut through to the wider public, policy makers and politicians observing the review. We'll be pointing to it as a kind of 'these are some of the copyright problems we think need fixing', to make the case for reform - without pre-judging the review's outcome!<br>
<br>
It's a very basic site - we will be pursuing a comprehensive outreach campaign once the final report of the Australian Law Reform Commission has been released - at the end of November this year.<br>
<br>
In the mean time, please tweet, facebook, share the site with colleagues. We'd love to get the message out!<br>
