We present the main recommendations of the Copyright Law Review Committee in its submission to the Australian Government in 1995 in relation to the protection of computer software in Australia and the intellectual property of software developers in this country. The implications of these recommendations to the academic and industry computer science community are presented, as well as comparisons with European and US legislation.
