Deb Abela, author of the MAX REMY and JASPER ZAMMIT series, discusses her support for keeping territorial copyright for books in Australia. Territorial copyright for books, and the associated 30/90 day rules for book importation, have enabled the Australian book industry, long the poor cousin to the UK and US book industries, to grow strong and vibrant. The Federal Governments Productivity Commission, supported by large chain booksellers but not by the Australian Booksellers Association - is arguing that territorial copyright should be abolished or limited to one year. This would cause immense damage to all involved in the book industry and to Australian literature. For more information go to: http://www.ausbooks.com.au/index.php

  • Go Aussie authors! Great words from many authors concerned about this attack on Australian Territorial Copyright protection on books. Write to your politician telling them not to destroy the Aussie publishing industry.
