Dear a2k
Please see below. The proposals for the Copyright Amendment Bill before the
Australian Parliament this week look like very bad news for Australian
libraries and all who wish to make fair use of copyright works.
Please use your contacts in Australia to rally lobbying and publicity support
for the libraries.
