Is There a Case for Fair Use? Lessons from the US &#8211; Seminar<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The Australian Law Reform Commission recently recommended that a \u201cfair use\u201d defence to infringement should be introduced into the Copyright Act in place of the current \u201cfair dealing\u201d defences.<\/p>\n<p>The new defence would be based on principles recognised in the U.S., where fair use has been part of the copyright landscape for a long time. Judgments in a series of recent fair use cases in the US, the Google Books case being notable, suggest that the doctrine there is developing and that its scope may be extending. The Attorney-General has indicated that his government is unlikely to implement the recommendation, but fair use proponents are maintaining their campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In this seminar, Professor Geoffrey Scott, Professor of Law at the Penn State University School of Law in the United States, will lead the panel in considering the development and practical application of fair use in the U.S. and the potential lessons that recent experience there might hold for copyright owners, users and lawyers in Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> Wednesday 2 July, 2014<br \/>\n<strong>Time:<\/strong> 5.15-6.15pm<br \/>\n<strong>Cost:<\/strong> Free<br \/>\n<strong>Venue:<\/strong> Monash University Law Chambers, 555 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne<br \/>\n<strong>RSVP:<\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:meli.voursoukis@monash.edu\" target=\"_blank\">meli.voursoukis@monash.edu<\/a><br \/>\nPlease note, places are limited.<\/p>\n<p>For further information please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/lawstudentbulletin\/files\/2014\/06\/is-there-a-case-for-fair-use-lessons-from-the-us.pdf\">flyer<\/a> or the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.law.monash.edu\/centres\/commercial-law-group\/case-for-fair-use-seminar\/\">website<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">4.
