This statement comes from LIANZA – via LISNews.org

LIANZA welcomes the announcement by the Prime Minister that Section 92A of the Copyright Act is going to be repealed and that the Government proposes to introduce a much fairer copyright provision to prevent unlawful downloads from the Internet.

LIANZA reiterates its support for clear copyright law that strives to achieve a fair and equitable balance, for the ultimate benefit of authors and copyright owners, users of in-copyright works, and society as a whole.

LIANZA wishes to be involved in the formulation of any future law and is looking forward to working with other relevant parties in the sector to develop a fair and workable model.

We would be interested in hearing from other LIANZA members who would like to be involved in this process.

Glen Walker
President
LIANZA

• Copyright Code submissions back repeal of 92A

Will be interesting to see if that happens and then to see if the Australian Government takes any notice of the outcome (that hopefully being the repeal).
