Main AUP
Acceptable Usage Policy - Examples of Copyright Violations
In Australia, examples of copyright violation include (but are not limited to):
- Copying from content from one medium to another without permission
(e.g. copying a CD to MP3s, or a DVD to a VCD).
- Transmission of content to others without permission
(e.g. 'sharing' MP3s or emailing JPGs that you don't have copyright on)
- Making content available for download without permission
(e.g. using a picture that someone else created on your website)
In general, unless the copyright owner has given express permission,
you cannot upload/download/re-encode any type of content in Australia.
Most MP3s and/or videos that are "available" on the Internet
are available without permission of the copyright owner, and thus
the transmission of same is a violation of our AUP.
