Copyright Amendment (Service Providers) Act 2018
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.
