A number of interest groups have weighed in following the launch of an inquiry by the Australian authorities into the tougher copyright protections required by the country's FTA with the United States.
The Australian authorities are obliged, under the terms of the agreement, to put in place by 2007 tougher penalties for those who circumvent technological protection measures in order to infringe copyright.
However, the government has launched an inquiry into the matter in order to allow interested parties to request exceptions to the new laws.
The Australian recording industry is reportedly happy with the legislation as it stands. However, several parties, including New South Wales' Attorney General, Linux Australia, and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation have all made submissions to the government on the matter.
