I still doubt there will be a significant uptake of encrypted services based on the usage data published since 2014. Also, I am aware that http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca191482/s3la.html has compelled a person in Victoria to release their SSH Private Key to an interstate host already so these types of technical controls are less effective now.

However, I don't doubt there will be submission(s) from rights holder(s) seeking extensions specific to copyright during this consultation too. -- Regards, Christian Heinrich http://cmlh.id.au/contact _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
