Thankyou for that detail. I'll study it and ensure I can use it as my own
response to similar such questions I get at work.

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Fair Use Campaign: Technical Update

[Liam Wyatt]

Hi Leigh,

Here is our campaign website's specific page about education
https://www.faircopyright.org.au/education/
And this is the specific Fair Use myth busting content on the official
copyright advisory website for Australian schools and TAFEs "smartcopying":
http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/law-reform/fair-use
THAT faircopying website is the the best/most detailed/official answer to
any question on this issue :-)

My own response: the introduction of Fair Use in Australia would NOT mean
that schools stop paying for the copying of any/all copyrighted content -
nor does the school sector wish to do that. Furthermore, "nor harming the
commercial market for the copyrighted work" is one of the key tests of what
counts as Fair Use. So - for example, kids getting textbooks, or the
showing of copyrighted films in classrooms still would be royalty-creating
activies through the process you describe. We see a lot of well-known
Australian authors saying things like that they'll not get any money from
schools using their books/plays/films but it's not true.
What WOULD change is that things like the use of websites which are
freely/publicly accessible (but still in copyright), the use of free-to-air
broadcasts and the use of Orphan Works would change. These are the kinds of
things that the general public does NOT pay for, but currently the schools
sector DOES. No one is asking for money for these things, and the
collecting agency gets to take a cut. In fact, because no one is following
up on that money, the collecting agency has been able to funnel it into a
lobbying fund: using the schools' own money to fight against changes which
would allow schools to not have to spend money to use free-access (but
in-copyright) websites
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/copyright-agency-diverts-funds-meant-for-authors-to-15m-fighting-fund-20170420-gvol0w.html
Personally I find this system, and that behaviour, utterly contemptible and
morally bankrupt.
Meanwhile, and relatedly, we know that the copyright industry is preparing
a response to our campaign trying to say that it/we/me are somehow tainted
with money from google. Straw man personal attacks seem likely to be the
best they can muster as a counter argument...Meanwhile, the next stage is
waiting to see how the Government formally responds to the Productivity
Commission report, due "any time now".

P.S. the banners are now no-longer showing on WP. The 'email your mp'
fiction and FairCopyright website remain up though. At the moment we are
123 people short of a satisfactorily round "10,000" so, any late sign ups
are welcome :-) https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/
p.p.s. My submission to wikimania on this campaign has been accepted, so
we'll be producing some pretty graphs on the stats of pageviews/emails to
MPs etc.

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Fair Use Campaign: Technical Update

[Leigh Blackall]

Hi Liam, thanks for the detailed report.

I have a question relating to the counter arguments you cite. Might this
lobby find better examples in the education and research space? Currently,
Australian schools and universities pay royalties for works copied through
Copyright Agency Limited (CAL), based on periodic audits where CAL comes to
a campus library, for example, and observes photocopying and other copy
methods to use as a data sample to configure a general payment rate for
that school or university for the next period (around 5 years).. how it is
precisely divided up into royalties to those it is owed I don't know,
dubious I'd expect. Needless to say, much of what is copied in the
education sector is educational content, like research, textbook chapters
etc. I know a few academics who claim royalty checks through CAL, for their
works that have been copied in a library somewhere. Might Fair Use impact
on this? So, not so much "artists" but producers of more
educational-in-nature content might lose their royalties from CAL if Fair
Use was introduced?

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Fair Use Campaign: Technical Update

[Liam Wyatt]

Hi Aussiepedians again, also crossposting to the Public Policy group,

TL;DR summary: Australia Fair Use campaign on Wikipedia will stop on
Monday; Australians encouraged to send a letter to their MP (and bring our
total over 10,000) here:
https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/#emailform

As we reach the end of the #FairCopyrightOz campaign (banners on en.wp in
Australia raising awareness of the Productivity Commission's recommendation
to introduce Fair Use to Australia) I wanted to give an update and request:

- Thanks to the diligent A/B-testing work of Seddon at the WMF, the total
clickthrough rate of the banners has remained steady, even while the actual
visibility of them has been decreased. They started at standard banner-size
visible at 50% on day 1, then steadily decreasing to 12% with smaller
banner-size, and also removing the 1 week cookie-timeout - so people would
only see 5 banners and then it would stop. So, we've managed (in my
opinion) to be simultaneously very visible but also non-disruptive).

- Choice Australia (a very respected consumer rights organisation -
equivalent of the USA's 'Consumer Reports'), which ran an equivalent
campaign several years ago (the last time Fair Use was recommended by a
gov't inquiry) has now sent an email to their mailing list cross-promoting
ours. They are thereby endorsing our campaign - which gives a great boost
of credibility too. (Linux Australia has also cross-promoted to their
members, as has the NSW education sector).

- We are just about to reach 8,000 people who have sent an email directly
to their local member of the federal parliament (and also their 12 state
senators). This equals over 100,000 emails sent to elected representatives
on the issue of promoting Fair Use as something that the general public
cares about. On an electorate-by-electorate breakdown it is the inner-city
of the State Capitals which are the most engaged by the issue. We know
we've got their attention because several politicians are sending reply
emails to their constituents that are written the same as each other -
meaning that they've taken the time to draft a response from their party's
position and distribute the same text it among their MPs (which also means
they're talking about us).

- The final day of the banners on WP will be Monday. We are hoping to break
the 10,000 mark of people emailing their MPs. *If you've not already: Go
here, put in your postcode, adjust the template email if you wish, and
send! https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/#emailform
 *

- There have been several other media mentions and blogposts from allied
groups (such as EFF, Creative Commons) which we've been compiling here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:FairCopyrightOz#Campaign_Report

- ADA / EFA have been able to book many meetings with the relevant members
of parliament/senators responsible for this issue over the next week. This
is where the public advocacy turns more quiet, as we talk with MPs and
await the Government's overdue official reply to the Productivity
Commission report. Then, depending on what they say, the other parties will
make their positions known... Unsurprisingly, the Copyright industry is
also lobbying but they seem to have been taken by surprise by our campaign,
since all they've managed to say in reply is that we're stooges of "big
tech/Google" and that Wikipedia is already free-licensed (which are pretty
obvious misdirection/straw man arguments) and to repeat the claim that Fair
Use will mean Aussie artists will stop getting royalties - despite not
demonstrating a single example of a royalty currently being paid for which
would stop; nor acknowledging that 'not harming the commercial rights of
the artist' is a key test for what counts as 'fair'.

Yours in Copyrighteousness,
-Liam  / Wittylama

p.s. Also this week in Australian copyright law, the federal parliament
approved a longstanding bill which enshrines disability access in
accordance with our obligation under the *Marrakesh Treaty for the Blind
and Vision Impaired*. There's also some great stuff in there for GLAMs. You
can read about this on the EFA's press statement:
https://www.efa.org.au/2017/06/15/copyright-amendment-bill/ or the ADA's:
http://digital.org.au/media/australia-leads-disability-access-thanks-copyright-changes
So that's pretty damn cool too!

Dear Aussiepedians,

As some of you may have seen by now - the banner campaign is now LIVE and
kicking.

Peter Martin, wrote an excellent article for SMH/Age/Canberra Times, and it
is doing REALLY well on social media (apparently "Fair Use" is trending on
twitter in australia):
 http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/fair-use-wikipedia-
targets-australians-in-bid-to-change-the-law-20170521-gw9kzq.html (Do have
a read of the comments there too - they're super positive). There's been
several ABC radio stories done this morning by Jess (ADA) and Jon (EFA) and
the press-release they sent out early this morning is beginning to be
picked up by others (SaturdayPaper, GizmodoAus...)

Reddit has noticed too: https://np.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/6cg8d0/
fair_use_wikipedia_targets_australians_in_bid_to/

The Meta page, where the banners go, is here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FairCopyrightOz
(and details of the banner designs are on the talkpage) - hashtag for those
on social media is #FairCopyrightOz

And the main point of the campaign from an 'influencing politicians' point
of view is the number of letters sent via the campaign website:
https://www.faircopyright.org.au/take-action/ (almost 60 and it's only just
gone 9am in Sydney)! If you are interested in this topic, please write a
letter to your MP as well!

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] Fair Use Campaign: Technical Update

[Liam Wyatt]

Thank you for this update Seddon,
(I've cc'd Jessica & Trish from the Australian Digital Alliance, and Jon
from Electronic Frontiers Australia - who are helping to coordinate this.
Those of you who were at the Melbourne meetup with Katherine this week will
have met Jon there).

Things are moving ahead apace with the planning for this campaign, even
though it might look very quiet to those not intimately involved: We're
trying to strike a balance between keeping people informed, and not
spamming with unwanted info!

==Banner display==
To reiterate Seddon's point: I am sorry that the proposal which was
approved by the community vote - (showing banners only on articles which
have Fair Use files) is not going to be technically possible. We thought it
was, and Seddon/WMF genuinely believed it would be, but it isn't. We can
make a list of all en.wp articles with F.U. files[1] but to make each
pageload check against that list would pose an unacceptable burden on
load-times. There probably is a technical solution that the WMF could
build, but as a question of resource-allocation they're not able to do that
at this time.

So... I hope you understand and believe us when we say that we're doing our
best to adjust to this hiccup by following the spirit of the
community-consultation as best as possible, even if we technically can't
follow the letter. To that end: rather than showing the banners all the
*time* on the minority % of articles which have F.U. content, we will
instead show the banners on all the *articles* but only for an equivalent
minority % of the time/pageloads. Make sense? There will also be the other
limiting factors in place: only for logged-out users, maximum of 5 banner
views per-browser/per-week.

==Draft landing page, banner designs==
If you would like to help draft some banner texts and find appropriate
graphics for them, you can make suggestions alongside the current proposals
at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fair_Use_in_Australia
This meta page will also become the landing-page for the banners when
clicked. It's not pretty yet, we've been working primarily on the text
itself - to find that balance between concise, accurate, engaging,
detailed, and approved-by-the-lawyers!

==Timing==
The launch date is expected to be in two weeks, likely 18 May That will be
after the media attention surrounding the federal budget has died down. It
will also coincide with some mainstream media articles we're hoping to
secure with some friendly journalists. As important as our website is, the
impact of the national newspapers on the minds of MPs needs to be accounted
for :-)

==FairCopyright==
And relatedly, Jess, Trish and Jon have been working very hard to produce a
matching campaign microsite - faircopyright.org.au (currently behind a
password until we 'launch') which will have lots more resources that are
not appropriate for Meta - like the 'contact your MP' widget, various FAQ
and mytbusting documents, social media sharing... It will also serve as a
place for the other allied organisations in Australia (from the
education/consumer/digital rights communities) to point their parallel
campaign material towards. Yep - other organisations have become inspired
by our getting involved and are going to run their own parallel campaigns!

==Mainspace WP article==
One of the specific requests made during the Request for Commons was a
mainspace Wikipedia article outlining the history of Fair Use arguments in
Australia - on the basis that if we're running an advocacy campaign about
it, we should have an NPOV and RS referenced EN.WP article about it too.
This was written and placed in the 'drafts' namespace for review (to avoid
