The Future of Television: Australian Legal Protection of Digital Broadcast Content

免费广播发挥着民主、经济和文化的核心作用，在澳大利亚的媒体中占有关键地位。但技术变革给广播公司带来了根本性和紧迫的挑战。通过研究保护数字内容的机制，该项目将促进对数字经济中一个关键问题的理解。该项目将增加对保护广播内容的选择的理解，以促进内容制作和分发的创新，同时不限制合理的内容使用，也不阻碍创新的消费电子产品。澳大利亚的政策应促进广播行业的创新和多样化，以服务于澳大利亚的公共利益。该项目促进了这一重要目标。

Free-to-air broadcasting performs central democratic, economic and cultural functions, with a key place in Australia's media. But technological changes pose fundamental and urgent challenges for broadcasters. By investigating mechanisms to protect digital content, the project will advance understanding of a crucial issue in the digital economy. The project will increase understanding of options for protecting broadcast content to promote innovation in content production and distribution, while not restraining reasonable content uses nor hindering innovative consumer electronics. Australian policies should foster an innovative and diverse broadcasting sector to serve Australian public interests. The project promotes this vital objective.
