[Jonathan Band and Sean Flynn] Next week, the Australian Parliament is set to vote on the “News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code” (“Code”). The Code has been a top lobbying priority of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, which dominates the news industry in Australia. The Code is incredibly worrisome from an international copyright law perspective, as it is the latest attempt to tax quotation rights protected by the Berne Convention. According to a newly published analysis by two leading international copyright scholars, enactment of the Code would likely violate Article 10(1) of the Berne Convention.
