Welcome
Welcome to the Open Content Australia weblog. Here I will be posting a monthly summary of the articles I have been reading for my PhD thesis. My main area of research at the moment relates to the Internet and the regulation of digital music, however I read widely on many issues relating to cyberspace and intellectual property law. I also maintain the OCA Research Review weblog where I discuss many of the issues that arise in these areas.
