A company lodged a complaint with the Department of Communications and the Arts in December 2018 regarding an ongoing dispute with Screenrights over royalty payments for a film titled 'Silver City'. The department's Copyright Law Section responded by declining to provide legal advice or intervene in the matter, noting it was inappropriate for the department to do so. The department directed the complainant to the Australian Copyright Council for potential legal assistance and informed them of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia's national IP list established from July 2018, which offers faster, lower-cost resolution of copyright matters for individuals and small to medium enterprises. The response also noted the complainant had made a separate submission to the department's Review of the Code of Conduct for Copyright Collecting Societies, with the final report expected in early 2019.
