Australian copyright law restricts the circulation of books to the
"official" users of certain types of libraries? --that's a terrifying idea.
Sounds--fortunately--utterly unenforceable as well as entirely opposed to
the public interest. No equivalent in Australian law to the First Amendment
in the U.S. Constitution? You're making me rethink my lifelong desire to see
Australia. But then, who could afford it?
