Sometimes the ridiculous is sublimely so. Which do you think could possibly have come first, the Copyright Act, or public domain, or for that matter, courts in which to enforce rules of behaviour? If s.21 of the Copyright Act does not recognise rights of public domain, then the law is at fault, and must be changed. If it is ultra vires the Constitution per se, then the need to amend it is more urgent. As such, it is a topic that needs to be discussed, thrashed out, and taken to action, within this forum. -- Vickram http://communicall.wordpress.com
