Whoa is me!

Sigh, here we go again, yet another article lamenting the fact that the big bad world is being mean to the Australian media industry.

Okay, I've got a raging sore throat, and I'm tired, so I'm probably not going to be as gentle as I should, but here goes.

HTFU.

Should Google fund Australian Content?

Dear Julian Lee,

Just thought I would drop you a line about your op-ed in the Sydney Morning Herald about whether companies like Google and Facebook should be forced to contribute to a fund for the development of Australian Content as per the suggestion in the Covergence Review Interim Report.

Now before I go on, I would just like to say that admire your passion for Australian produced content. You obviously feel strongly about it.

Independent Media Review Report

Do you blog? Do you post regularly? Do you perhaps analyse or pass comment on newsy type things? Do you get more than 40 hits a day to your website?

Congratulations, the Independent Media Inquiry has just made you an official part of the Australian News Media industry, subject to the rulings of a News Media Council.

Or at least it would like to.

A solution for the sporting codes

Okay so here's the deal.

A few years back, some changes were made to the Australian Copyright legislation. One of those changes actually made it legal for a person to "time shift" a program, that is, record it for later viewing. They weren't allowed to share the recording with their mates, but they were no longer breaking the law by recording a football game if they were out. (not that anyone actually cared if they were breaking that particular law).
