The research initiators of this website are the administrators of the  8 XA CANDY CAR GROUP (STUDY) which  is made up of PASSIONATE XA 351 FALCON ENTHUSIASTS  that have  appreciated the XA  since 1972  recalling the  eagerness for the  most anticipated  FORD .  Australia's first designed   Falcon  the  sports 4 door  model sedan these are the Bathurst factory racing team falcon  GT HO PHASE 4 prototype racing cars.

FAIR DEALING

The main exceptions to copyright infringement in Australia come under the general heading fair dealing. Fair dealing is comparable to the United States' fair use; it is a use of a work specifically recognised as not being a copyright violation. In order to be a fair dealing under Australian law a use must fall within a range of specific purposes. These purposes vary by type of work, but the possibilities are:

  • review or criticism

  • research or study

  • news-reporting

  • judicial proceedings or professional legal advice

  • parody or satire (added by the Copyright Amendment Act 2006)

In order for a certain use to be a fair dealing, it must fall within one of these purposes and must also be 'fair'. What is fair will depend on all the circumstances, including the nature of the work, the nature of the use and the effect of the use on any commercial market for the work.

Fair dealing is not the same as fair use. This has, for example, been interpreted by US courts to allow for reasonable personal use of works, e.g. media-shifting, which would not necessarily be permitted under Australia's fair dealing laws. Australian copyright law does, however, have a number of additional specific exceptions which permit uses which may fall outside of both fair dealing and fair use. For example, a number of exceptions exist which permit specific uses of computer software.
