Funded Activity Summary

Australian made: A history of Australian copyright law and creator success 1868-1968. This project evaluates the role of copyright law in the development of Australian culture. Through an investigation of the experience of five iconic Australian creators in the arts (Nellie Melba, Norman Lindsay, Ken Hall, Albert Namatjira and Alfred Hill) the project examines how copyright law actually worked and the extent to which it served the mutual interests of Australian creators and media owners. The project makes a unique and significant contribution to the history of Australian copyright law, a long neglected area of research. It builds a better understanding of the legal foundations to commercial success. Misunderstanding in this area currently causes difficulties in law reform processes.
