1. STUDIES, LEGISLATION AND CONVENTIONS:

AUSTRALIA TO LEGALIZE PERSONAL COPYING - The Australian government is set to
legalize personal copying, such as videotaping television shows and copying
songs from CDs to MP3 players. The introduction of fair use provisions will
mean that Australians will no longer be breaking the law each time they tape 
a
TV show or copy music. The government has yet to decide whether to introduce 
a

levy on blank recording media such as CDs and iPods.

EC EXAMINES DATABASE DIRECTIVE - A recent European Commission study examined 
the

effectiveness of its database directive, which was introduced to stimulate
database production. The EC found that, since the implementation of its
directive, which created a broad intellectual property right on the 
compilation

of facts, database production in the European Union has actually fallen
slightly.

FRANCE COULD SANCTION FREE ONLINE DOWNLOADS - The French Parliament voted in
late December 2005 to pave the way for legalizing peer-to-peer downloading 
of
copyright-protected music and movies. French law currently includes a 
concept
called "private copy", which allows people to copy music and other content 
for

themselves and their friends, and although a French court recently held that
downloaded music does meet the "private copy" definition, the amendment 
would

codify and solidify this decision. The Association of Audionauts, a group
representing some 100 people accused of illegal file-sharing, is proposing a
royalty tax on Internet Service Providers to compensate copyright-holders.

2. LEGAL CASES:

CARTOONIST SUES AMAZON FOR BREACH OF COPYRIGHT - Robert Crumb, the
counterculture artist behind characters such as Fritz the Cat, has filed a
copyright infringement lawsuit against Amazon.com. Amazon were displaying
Crumb's famous "Keep on Truckin' " image whenever an item was not in stock,
with instructions to keep searching. Although Amazon has since removed the
image, the parties have been unable to agree upon a figure for damages.

MUSIC PUBLISHERS TARGET UNLICENSED SHEET MUSIC - The Music Publishers'
Association ("MPA") is to send "cease and desist" letters to commercial Web
sites that offer copyright-protected print music. The planned action marks 
the
first time that the MPA has adopted a collective approach to alleged 
copyright

infringement by commercial Web sites.

CANADIAN COPYSHOP OWNER GETS PRISON SENTENCE - Riaz Lari, owner of the 
UCompute

copyshop in Montreal, was sentenced to six months in prison for violation of
previous court orders to stop selling illegally photocopied textbooks. 
Lari's

sentence was suspended on condition that he complies with a permanent
injunction that prohibits him from selling the photocopied textbooks.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CD-ROM DECISION TO STAND - The U.S. Supreme Court has
refused to review a ruling that allowed National Geographic to reproduce 
images

in a CD-ROM format. The U.S. Court of Appeals decision, which held that the
CD-ROM was a revision of an existing
