Digital Rights and Copyright in NZ: s 92A and the Institutional Role of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and the Copyright Tribunal.
The current digital environment has made the unauthorised access and use of copyright material significantly easier. Who is going to bear the costs associated with monitoring and enforcing copyright laws in such an environment? How do we ensure that the rights of both the copyright holder and the internet user are protected? Is there a role for ISPs in this process? And if so, on what cost basis? This seminar explores the economic and legal implications of issues raised in these questions in the context of the recent review of s 92A.
