Copyright law, digital content and the Internet in the Asia-Pacific, edited by Brian Fitzgerald, Fuping Gao, Damien O'Brien and Sampsung Xiaoxiang Shi, provides a unique insight into the key issues facing copyright law and digital content policy in a networked information world.

2020's focus on traditional arts funding came at the expense of our creative growth sectors, writes Creative Australia delegate Stuart Cunningham. The Australia 2020 Summit brought people from the heights and the streets together to meet and exchange ideas. It was an exciting concept that produced many valuable ideas.

Stuart Cunningham, director of the ARC Centre for Excellence in Creative Industries and Innovation will be attending the Australia 2020 summit. Stuart will be participating in the 'Towards a creative Australia' session.

In this, the third CCI annual report, the centre's director, Stuart Cunningham introduces the report with an outline of the achievements of the centre over the last year while John Hartley discusses the implications of current policy for creative industries research in Australia.
