I am spending this week in Lisbon for the Creative Commons 2019 Global Summit. It has been a great few days of conversation, sharing, meeting new friends and exchanging ideas with friends new and old. A lot of the focus in the copyright discussions has been on the enforcement provisions in the recently passed EU Directive. However it, has been clear during many of my discussions that a recent Australian reform expanding the site blocking regime to search engines may have “slipped through to the keeper” (Australian slang for ‘we missed that one’, or ‘that one fell through the cracks’!).
