This paper sets out the tasks that lie ahead of policy makers charged with balancing the public benefits that can arise from the widespread circulation of a copyright work with the need to provide protection, incentive and reward to the owner of the copyright.

Lilley identifies three areas that need to be addressed:

• the volume of the transactions that the copyright system needs to deal with
• the relationship of digital rights management to concepts of fair dealing
• the relationship between copyright and the market place.
