Australian Law Report - Creative Commons

Post by aldona »

Not sure how close our copyright laws are to those of Canada, but I have just heard a very interesting report/debate on ABC radio about Creative Commons.

It certainly gave me a lot to think about and is well worth listening to. (One of the speakers was Canadian.)
You can listen online or download audio.

“all great composers wrote music that could be described as ‘heavenly’; but others have to take you there. In Schubert’s music you hear the very first notes, and you know that you’re there already.” - Steven Isserlis

I know that we have Life +70 starting from 2005, but was not made retroactive, and that it was only November 2006 that the use of iPods became legal. (Backing up CDs that you own etc. etc.)
