Convict Notes
The Australian Copyright Act allows an author's work to be copied only in particular circumstances. Certain actions constitute (allowed) fair dealings, such as copying up to 10% or one chapter of a book, or copying one article, for research or study. But how much of Dr C J Smee's work has Mr I Frazier copied into this database by now (even sometimes applying reams of genealogical detail to the wrong convict)? Is this wholesale dumping of genealogical material even within the approved fair dealing provision?
