For those of us in Australia, the Australian Copyright Council provides a
very helpful web site:
http://www.copyright.org.au/ and, for example, an Information Sheet for
graphic designers:
http://www.copyright.org.au/PDF/InfoSheets/G075.pdf
The information sheet is 7 simple pages and is very clear - none of this is
rocket science. If in Oz, get hold of the sheet (you probably already have
a copy?) and read it.
