Some great stuff in here... Also Mark Fallu's letter to MEAA, posted
to rights.apc.org.au, is just the ticket.

Have you received a detailed response from MEAA on their specific
objections? If so, is there any possibility of a critique of their
concerns from AU CC?

They're playing it safe... I suspect they don't want to find
themselves in the same situation the New Media Arts Bound did when
they supported Escape From Woomerra. But I could be wrong.

Who do you suggest we write to at the AFC?
