The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) have welcomed the Albanese Government’s announcement that it will not introduce a Text and Data Mining (TDM) exception into Australian copyright law.
“This decision reinforces Australia’s commitment to its artists and creative industries, ensuring that consent, control, and compensation remain at the heart of copyright in the age of artificial intelligence.
Annabelle Herd, CEO of ARIA and PPCA, notes that this decision recognises the inherent value of Australian creativity and culture, including First Nations Culture, and that copyright and IP laws are the foundation of the creative economy, the digital economy, and the technology industry.
