Free Trade  #

My questions for the new US/Australia "free trade" (as in buying a CD, not as in Kaaza) agreement:

  • Will Australian's have access to the US music market. By that I mean will Australian's have access to iTunes, Napster etc. which are currently "US only". That is, will the artificial market segments US/Australian be disolved?
  • Can I get cinnamon and wintergreen tictacs now?
  • Is Project Gutenberg Australia down for good thanks to adopting the US's life + 70 years + $$$ copyright laws?
  • Do Australian now get "fair use" rules for copying music?
  • Will the Australian market get cinema releases at the same time as US?
