Mmmm,
A surety of $600,000, his previous warnings on going on 'fishing expeditions’
and his caution against demanding unconscionable damages, as well as our ISP’s
requesting that their costs for this scheme being met in full, have put a
little bit of a dampener on IP and copyright legal actions.
However, I remain confident that George Brandis will continue to do his utmost
to see that Australian consumers pay through the nose to the current IP and
copyright rent seekers, and Andrew Robb will continue to push the TPP with its
increases in extent and duration of copyright and IP (on drugs, physical
product and invention, content and processes) to ensure that we pay more, for
longer, for less, and for mostly out-of-date product into the foreseeable
future.
And its not like the government cares … given that they are dropping investment
in education, infrastructure and anything else that would ensure Australia has
a future place at the IP and copyright table as anything other than a consumer.
We’ll just be uneducated rubes either buying, renting, watching or listening to
the IP and copyright of others … a really terrific economic plan IMHO.
Regards,
