註釋In December 2003 the Copyright Law Review Committee was given a reference by the Attorney-General to examine the law relating to government ownership of copyright material. The report begins with a detailed analysis of the scope of Crown copyright, including the meaning of 'the Crown' and the range of material in which government owns copyright. The report also considers the current legislation in Australia in relation to government ownership of copyright, the history of the Crown copyright provisions and a review of Crown copyright provisions in other common law countries. In addition, the report considers public policy issues including the copyright balance, access to government material, competition policy and whether government needs to own copyright in commissioned works. There is also specific consideration of the special Crown ownership provisions of the Copyright Act 1968, the Crown's prerogative right in the nature of copyright, specific exceptions to infringement of Crown copyright and a discussion of which government entities should be considered the 'Commonwealth' or 'State'. The report then goes on to make a number of detailed recommendations.
