This will be my last post for this subject, as I believe I am now finishing the last assessment (although I will need to check). I have actually enjoyed this subject, the one I was least looking forward to. Legal stuff can be so dry. I found the intricacies and complexities interesting however and it was fun relating questions to a reading text. It was good in assessment 6, to return to copyright again, as it was like a review of previous learning. copyright is especially relevant to my work. We have been discussing whether to change the notice in Fine Print regarding the  copyright of articles contained, and I think we will. I would like to add that the copyright belongs to the authors and articles can not be reprinted/reproduced without the author's permission. At the moment no mention is made of the author. As we are an education journal, the fair dealing clause would come into play.

Back again. I am keen to get this finished believe it or not. Will start with Norma Khouri's book and the issues it raises for the industry. I am finding all this industry information useful and am noticing news items to do with copyright and other regulations more than I used too, probably because I now have some prior knowledge. New medias and smart phone technologies are really testing the industry. I'd say the legal system is a step or two behind technological advancement. It is a case of technology providing the tests and the legal system playing catch up.
