- Title
JUMPING THE WALL: GEOBLOCKING, CIRCUMVENTION AND THE LAW.
- Authors
BURKE, THOMAS
- Abstract
Geoblocking is the restriction of access to online content based on the physical location or address of the user. This article examines the legality of the circumvention of geoblocking measures in Australia. It concludes that despite considerable uncertainty, it is likely that circumvention is prohibited in Australia. The article evaluates the international discussions on the subject and the views of the Productivity Commission. It concludes that the law should be clarified in favour of prohibition.
