This assignment delves into the intricacies of copyright law within the Australian context. It begins by defining copyright, explaining its scope, and outlining the protection afforded to various forms of creative expression, including literary, dramatic, artistic, and musical works, as well as software and data compilations. The assignment then presents and analyzes several case studies involving copyright infringement. The first case examines whether an individual has rights in cases of copyright infringement. The second case explores the liability of a restaurant owner who plays copyrighted music in their establishment. The third case investigates whether an artist can stop others from using his work. The assignment references relevant legislation, including the Copyright Act 1968, and provides legal analysis of the issues, rules, and applications within each case, concluding with judgments based on the presented facts and legal principles. The references at the end include relevant case law and academic sources to support the analysis.
