The Senate has passed the Copyright Amendment Bill with some changes.

According to the Attorney-General, "The amended reforms make it clear consumers can transfer the music
they own onto devices such as iPods and enable the next wave of
technology by allowing people to record a TV or radio program on mobile
devices to watch it at a more convenient time.

Mr Ruddock said the Government had removed on-the-spot fines for
some copyright offences because of concerns they might unintentionally
capture harmless activities of ordinary Australians. However, the
Government had retained one-the-spot fines for other offences which
target copyright pirates."
