(Partial) backdown on draconian laws
The Sydney Morning Herald today has a story about the goverment's backdown on draconian laws (Copyright Amendment Bill 2006). Whilst it's an improvement on the horrible previous version, the Greens are spot on in their criticism:
"The Free Trade Agreement with the United States means the worst aspects of the American Copyright system has been imported into Australian law but with none of the consumer safeguards such as open ended fair use rights that exist in the United States"
