Description
[Australian copyright law is poised on the brink of major change. Even before a finalised test case of the Digital Agenda Amendments, Australia had committed to a wholesale rewrite of those reforms under the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement. This article falls broadly into two parts. Part 11 examines the intellectual property laws relating to digital rights management technologies. It explores the history of so-called 'anti-circumvention' laws nationally and internationally, as well as important precedents. Part III examines whether Australian competition law is equipped to address any anti-competitive conduct facilitated by technological protection measures, which can be used to lock in consumers and lock out competitors. Important US precedents including Lexmark International Inc v Static Control Components Inc and Chamberlain Group Inc v Skylink Technologies Inc are analysed under Australian law, both before and after the full implementation of the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement, including an examination of relevant provisions of Part IV of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth), especially the intellectual property exception in s 51(3).] I INTRODUCTION
