The horse, in this case, is the Australian Copyright Council This is an authoritative site. Also runs training sessions and has information sheets.The Copyright Agency Ltd (CAL) 'is an Australian copyright management company whose role is to provide a bridge between creators and users of copyright material.' If you've published something it's a good idea to join (it's free).
