Aloha from Hawaii!
I'm at an Internet cafe so must be brief.
I too would like to see us 'weigh in' on the matter of the copyright review
and as some of you may recall I made a submission to the initial
round myself (specifically relating to faithful reproductions of 2D PD
artworks).
I would be very happy to see WMAu to send in a 'we support what the ADA
said' submission.
Tell me if I can help in this matter because Trish is based at the National
Library and I see her almost daily.
