This article is in many ways flawed - it needs to go into more depth and be more solidly researched (to avoid errors like missing the origin of copyright law by a couple of centuuries). But it raises an issue not usually seen in similar articles, the role of copyright with respect to Aboriginal perceptions of what may be owned by individuals, as individual copyright does not (or should not - the article is unclear) extend to work based on religion, language and traditions. Of course, a similar provision should exist for the protection of all cultures; how often have we seen the common and everyday subject to a trademark, patent or copyright restriction? Something to think about.
