Are you breaking privacy rules?

According to the Productivity Commission’s report on intellectual property, the average Australian breaches copyright laws around 80 times a day. And, before you think 'well that’s not me', replying to an email with the original email still attached is actually a breach.

There are many other unconscious tasks that are undertaken everyday, such as copy and pasting text, and sharing items published elsewhere.

So before you hit send, find out if you’re breaking any rules.

I am guilty as I  copied and paste this article 3 times b4 reading the lasted paragr graph. Before the police come looking for me,  I plead guilty, 3 times but plead insanity t  justify my horrid actions

This is simply day to day internet activity - whilst potentially a breach of some law, rule or regulation, I would like to see anyone actually try to prosecute such "infringements". This is your classic "storm in a teacup".
