Blog Exercise – The Legal Framework / Creative Content

            1. Understanding the law


            2. Defining your own ethical approach


            3. Committing to applying your own code of conduct in the workplace

PART 1: UNDERSTANDING THE LAW

            Research and blog on the following:


            1. The Berne Convention


            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention_for_the_Protection_of_Literary_and_Artistic_Works

            2. IP (Intellectual Property) legislation in Australia

             http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/about-us/publications-listing/ip-legislation/

            3. Australian Copyright Law


             http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Australia 

             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QiO_H0-ok8

            This is video which explains the definition of the copyright. Actually, it is not a good video because it is quite hard to listen but may be for me only. It was presented by song and that is the thing that I interested. I think, for someone who don't know what is copyright, it will be good media to make you more understand.

            4. Creative Commons


            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons#Aim_and_influence

            5. P2P networks and software licence
