Intellectual Property Foundation says Thank You!



It was great to read this week that the Federal Government plans to crack down on internet piracy. It is wanting Australian courts to block access to websites that allow users to illegally download material. Australians have been revealed as being big offenders, and only recently have lead the world in illegally downloading episodes of the series "Game of Thrones".

Two years ago the Australian IP Awareness Foundation rolled out a campaign called "Thank You"  -thanking  the many Australians who choose to "patronize  cinemas, watch TV, rent or buy DVDs and Blu-rays, or access their online content via genuine websites". These consumer choices contribute to keeping our film and television industry alive. Above is a short video that would support any classroom discussion about copyright.
