Urgent Call for Protection of Australian Content
Arts and media organizations are raising their voices, urging the Labor government to address the growing issue of content theft. They express concern over the unauthorized use of Australian creative works to train artificial intelligence. This situation threatens the livelihood of artists and creators across the country.
The Productivity Commission’s report has suggested potential exemptions for text and data mining and expanding fair dealing rules. These proposals have sparked significant backlash from the creative community, who argue that such changes could exacerbate the theft of their content. Artists believe that the government must take a firm stance to protect their intellectual property and ensure fair compensation for their work.
