[LINK] John Birmingham's Chicken Theory of Copyright

[Tom Worthington]

Greetings from the Senate Alcove of Australian Parliament House in 
Canberra, where John Birmingham is speaking on copyright, using on an 
analogy to fast food chicken recipes. This is at an event organized by 
the Copyright Agency, for the launch of the book Copyfight, edited by 
Phillipa McGuinness. The last chapter is "This is How the Future Works" 
by John Birmingham. At the same time we are in the alcove a great 
political drama is unfolding a few dozen meters away, with a challenge 
to Prime Minister Tony Abbott by Malcolm Turnbull, former Minister for 
Communications. I notice that Mr. Turnbull gets two mentions in the book 
"Copyfight" and Mr. Abbot gets none.
