Notes
The notification by Australia to the WTO under Article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'The Copyright Amendment (Service Providers) Act 2018 extends the operation of the safe harbour scheme in the Copyright Act 1968 and limits legal remedies available against carriage service providers to a broader range of service providers in the disability, educational and cultural sectors.
The Act expands the safe harbour scheme to cover the following additional kinds of service providers:
- educational institutions, through their administering bodies, including universities, schools, technical colleges, training bodies and pre-schools;
- libraries that either make their collection available to the public or are Parliamentary libraries, through their administering bodies;
- archives, through their administering bodies, including the National Archives of Australia and specified state archives, galleries and museums;
- key cultural institutions, through their administering bodies, including specific archives and libraries that are not open to the public; and
- organisations assisting persons with a disability.'
