Hello Skeeve,

 

If you’re serious, perhaps you need to contact a Lawyer. It may cost you money up front to find out what you may already know, but it might save you money in the long run if you run into issues down the track.

 

However. one would have thought, though, that they would have posted the rules on this sort of thing in their Terms and Conditions. Other than that, it would probably pay to contact the sites delivering the currently available content and query them about this “pre-caching” situation, or “re-broadcasting” their web releases.

 

As for the Auzzie Copyright question, you might want to check out:

(I think it’s 10 years).

 

Cheers,

Mike

Hey all,

 

Content question again – but this time a legal question.

 

For any content that is ‘freely available on the web’ – what is the legality of acquiring this content and delivering it locally?

 

For example.. many TV stations are uploading full episodes onto their websites after the show has aired.

 

YouTube would be another example.

 

I am only talking about free content – which is not paid for, but freely downloadable from websites.

 

I guess I am talking about a ‘pre-caching’ kind of situation.

 

Also, does anyone know at what point music becomes legally free to use in Australia?... like books after 50years after the authors death (in the US it is 20).

 

...Skeeve
