Copyright Section 92 latest

The Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill was introduced into Parliament yesterday. A press release by Commerce Minister Simon Power may be accessed at http://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/section+92a+bill+introduced+parliament+today .

A copy of the bill is on the New Zealand Legislation website at http://www.legislation.co.nz/bill/government/2010/0119/latest/DLM2764301.html?search=ts_bill_copyright_resel&p=1&sr=1 .

The LIANZA Standing Committee on Copyright will now study the Bill, to see what the implications are for libraries. If necessary a submission will be made to the Parliamentary Select Committee.

Once the Bill becomes law, which is expected to be later this year, the LIANZA Copyright Guidelines and other copyright publications will be revised to take into account this new Amendment Act.
