Australia's copyright laws to finally get an update?
A year after the Attorney General's Office releases its Fair Use Issues Paper, it looks like the ability to tape your favourite programme off the telly and watch it later may finally become legal in Australia.

Though of course "The Nine and Seven networks lodged a strongly worded joint submission to the review, arguing that any relaxation of the law would encourage piracy."

Well know know Channel 9 are already masters of "time shifting" - that's when you tune in to the advertise starting time of a show and wait for the last 10 minutes of the previous crap show you didn't want to watch anyway to finish.
