maverick: The problem being is we may not have a choice, everybody is aware of our policy and we act on it now so it could be Business as usual , it does cost time and money for us to do for nil return so this a not something we wish to do by choice.
- It continues the 9 month parallel importation ban on films from their international release date (which was set in legislation to expire on 31 October 2008). The Bill puts in place the 9 month ban until 31 October 2013.- The purpose of the ban is to encourage investment in and the promotion of film production, distribution and exhibition industries and to protect cinema ticket sales by ensuring a film’s cinematic exhibition does not coincide with its availability on video tape or in DVD format.
“(1) The lawful user of a copy of a computer program expressed in a low level language does not infringe copyright in the program by decompiling it, if the conditions in subsection (2) are met.
Section 44 is amended by inserting the following subsection after subsection (4):
“(4A) A copy of a work made in accordance with subsections (3) and (4) may be communicated to a person who is a student or other person who is to receive, is receiving, or has received, a lesson that relates to the work.”
jpollock: The anti-tpm stuff would seem to catch (off the top of my head):
1) anyone selling dreambox free view systems (or clones)
2) anyone selling chipped DVD players
3) modded iphones
Fun! Because I know I want to be stuck with Region 4 release schedules!
adventdesigns: I haven't had time to read the entire legislation yet, but are there changes to storing content gathered from the net via automated methods much like the search engines do? What is the standing on this? As it seems like the search engines must breach copyright law a lot by keeping a copy of the website they crawl.
As for the new ISP part, I don't think its a huge deal, and like maverick said Xnet have been doing it for a long time running. From my understanding (which may be limited) It doesn't involve the ISP "policing the net" as people have called it, as they don't have to take any added action to catch the offender in the act, instead they are to assist a 3rd party that claims so? And giving someone a warning once is enough to make them think twice or lose thier connection (or become more creative).

Bung:
The anti tpm stuff specifically excludes region control or "or system to the extent that it controls geographic market segmentation" from its scope.
