The document outlines 10 principles for public rights in Australian copyright law. The principles are intended to provoke discussion and articulate the interests of those who support public access to and use of copyrighted works. The principles call for balancing private rights with public interests, limiting the scope and term of copyright, preserving Australian publications, allowing fair use through flexible exceptions, ensuring fair statutory licenses, supporting voluntary licensing, protecting public rights from technology and contracts, proportional enforcement, and free access to publicly funded works.
