Copyright expert says Court was right
The Copyright Society of Australia hosted a seminar on 24 July 2008 at which David Lindsay, Senior Lecturer in Law at Monash University gave a presentation entitled “Appeal decision in Channel Nine v Ice TV”.
David analysed both the legal foundation and policy implications of the ruling. He said that “the Full Fedral Court decision is entirely in accord with authority and appeal would need to overturn Anglo-Australian law” and concluded “The debate about the future of Australian commercial FTA broadcasting is properly a matter for broadcasting policy, not copyright law.”
A summary of this excellent presentation can be downloaded from the Copyright Society’s website here.
