Dear Michael,

     It is my understanding that a draft NII Copyright Act 1995 is being considered in the Senate - but delay has arisen because no agreement has been reached on the subject of ISP copyright liability.

     For the substantive provisions of this legislation, suggest you see an article I published in 'NII Scan' (click Intellectual Property Issues) of the Singapore National Computer Board home page:
