Title: Re: [cc-au] copyright council

to clarify, this is an open list that any member can post to. this does not automatically mean that the views expressed are those of creative commons australia, or that we endorse the content published to this list. that said, any information that gets people thinking about how to manage their rights, whether that be “all rights” or “some rights”, is encouraged by creative commons australia.

the arc centre of excellence for creative industries and innovation and creative commons australia are not affiliated with the australian copyright council. we do not receive any financial support from them. we are funded by the australian research council.
