More safe harbour consultations
You may recall that, when the Copyright Amendment (Disability Access and Other Measures) Bill 2017 was introduced into Parliament, it was missing the schedule in the exposure draft that extended the “safe harbour” provisions from “carriage service providers” to “service providers”.[1]
This is apparently a complicated issue and so the Government has announced it is engaging in a round of consultations led by no less a personage than the Secretary of the Department of Communications and the Arts.
The Secretary is required to report to the Minister on the outcome of the consultations by early June 2017.
Press announcement here and, if you want to try to be invited to the consultations, some contact details here.
Anybody wonder what President Trump would do if he found out we were in breach of the Australia – United States Free Trade Agreement?[2]
