Yes, indeed. Ireland's recent review
<http://www.enterprise.gov.ie/en/Publications/CRC-Report.pdf> of copyright
law recommended the introduction of a fair use provision. The Australian
Law Review Commission conducted a comprehensive review and also recommended
fair use <http://www.alrc.gov.au/publications/5-fair-use-exception/summary>,
using the existing fair dealing exceptions as illustrations of what fair
use could be. The Attorney General patently rejected the Law Review's
recommendation and has since launched its own consultation
<http://www.attorneygeneral.gov.au/Mediareleases/Pages/2014/ThirdQuarter/30July2014-OnlineCopyrightInfringement.aspx>
on online infringement.

>
> Greetings everyone,
>
> Please find attached the summary from the list's discussion on regional
> specificities.
>
> As with the summary of section 1, I intend to submit all further
> contributions to this document to the consultants working with the
> Secretariat. Time permitting we will revisit all sections of the document
> in toto before the IGF.
>
> I received many stories relating to Areas 1 and 3 - that is technical
> infrastructure and human capacities. I did not, however, receive any
> contributions in the way of Area 2 - the local legislative landscape. I
> thus encourage contributors to share stories about their local competition
> regulation, telecommunications regulation, and copyright legislation, for
> example, all of which can be relevant to the creation of local content.
>
> Many thanks and I intend to prepare a summary of section 3 in the coming
> few days.
>
> Sincerely,
> Susan
