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.
