2009 anyone?
Mon, 20 Oct 2008, 08:47 pmHello all. It's been 2 and something years since I've posted anything here but I do take some amusement from the goings on with the to-ing and the fro-ing and the hey and hoy..oh,sorry, Jerry Lewis is coming to town and I just love 'im. However, this isn't facebook so I'll arrive at my question about....now.
Can we have some insight into club seasons for 2009? Please? I mean, it's almost November and apart from a couple of groups posting seasons on their websites I can't see anything anywhere. Is there anywhere I can look for this info? I'm hangin' out to get up there but with such limited time I need to know what's coming up. There must be others like me?
Love, LOVE to hear what's in the offing!!
Yours
More on copyright
Mon, 24 Nov 2008, 03:14 pmAustralia interprets the Berne Convention as saying that it will have a similar copyright protection as the rest of the world, and that in Australia foreign copyright holders will have the same protection as Australians...
The law as it now stands is copyright expires at the end of the 70th year after the authors death (or the first publication or performance if the work is posthumous)
HOWEVER
Australia upped it from 50 years in 2005, but at the same time decided that copyright can not be reapplied once it has expired, so works that were in the public domain when they changed the law have stayed in the public domain.
So nothing new will enter the public domain in Australia until 1 January 2026!!!
When the UK upped their time limit, they did so retroactively, so for example, they plays of Pinero went into the Public Domain in 1985, came back under copyright when they changed the law, and then re-entered the pubic domain in 2005
