More I've gleaned from the issue paper on the RFC on Copyright Exceptions: - The copy is regarded as temporary. Under some circumstances you have to delete it after you watch it. Sometimes you have to delete if if you watch the *original*. - (sec 12) The restrictions on private copies of photographs and films are stricter than on audio (copying audio is covered by Section 109A of the act). - (sec 23) Digital-to-digital photo/film copying is not permitted, even for private use. Yes, that means you can't copy a DVD to your pocket AV player (the paper uses that example). Digital to Digital *audio* copying is allowed. - (sec 41-45) Copying which requires defeating any "Technological Protection Measures" is not allowed (so you still couldn't copy a DVD legally). The government is unfortunately NOT inviting comment on this part, but is interested in the "extent" of media released without TPMs (see sec 45). - This covers some parts of computer games (under certain circumstances they are considered a "cinematograph film". The above restrictions on TPMs apply.
