Parallel importing review - arguments for and against
|
The Productivity Commission has been asked to review copyright laws which prevent booksellers from importing titles that are also published in Australia. Groups who are against change predict a gloomy future for local publishers, local authors and for small booksellers if restrictions are lifted. Those who're keen for protection to be removed say it will mean cheaper books. Tim Coronel from Bookseller and Publisher magazine joins us to tease out the arguments.
