I am not a lawyer, and I don't know Australian laws. My suspicion is that even an Australian lawyer wouldn't know unless there's been a court case in your jurisdiction concerning this. My best guess is that if you download something that is PD from Australia or another country where it is also PD, you have nothing to worry about. If you were to download it or bittorrent it from a country where it's not PD, you may be guilty of copyright infringement. I doubt that a US company would attempt to go after a foreign occasional (from their point of view) infringer, but your safest action is to see if you can find a copy to download from a country where it is PD, like Canada.
