Good!!

The Australian Productivity Commission released a draft interim report during the week, and it says:

Australian consumers should be able to legally circumvent geoblocking restrictions that prevent them from using foreign online streaming services like US Netflix, according to the Productivity Commission.
  • Government should ensure VPN use does not breach copyright
  • Copyright laws give protection for too long: rewarding "someone after they're resting in peace doesn't make a lot of sense"
  • Government should not sign trade deals that facilitate geoblocking

Thank heavens the discussion of this issue doesn't go away in AU! Time for action .....
