Reconceptualising copyright to improve access to screen culture

本项目研究版权法对澳大利亚电影业的影响，重点是视听材料的发行和获取。它试图了解版权法和实践如何更好地确保人类记录的创造性成果的财富可供人们享受，学习和再利用。它将新颖的数字研究方法与深入的访谈相结合，以研究版权最为复杂的屏幕行业中许可和分销的挑战。它旨在提供严格的证据，为澳大利亚版权行业技术中立监管的发展提供信息，改善版权许可市场，并释放分布不足的屏幕内容的价值。

This project examines the impact of copyright law in Australia’s screen industries, focusing on distribution and access to audiovisual material. It seeks to understand how copyright law and practice can better ensure that the wealth of humankind’s recorded creative output is available for people to enjoy, learn from, and reuse. It combines novel digital research methods with in-depth interviews to study the challenges of licensing and distribution in the screen industries, where copyright is at its most complex. It aims to provide rigorous evidence to inform the development of technology-neutral regulation for Australia's copyright industries, improve copyright licensing markets, and unlock the value of under-distributed screen content.
