Journal Journal: Copyright, MP3 and Australian law
I want to listen to my music, wherever I am. But I have some 600+ CDs. And the legality of format-shifting is unclear. I wouldn't mind some restrictiveness, e.g. I wouldn't mind having to lock my CDs away and having an MP3 repository that could only be played by typing in some unique access code (i.e. an encrypted file system so other people can't play my MP3s).
Australian copyright law is under review.
And I have an assignment to write, on IT law.

It's costing me the future....
