The Copyright Legislation Amendment Act 2004 received assent on 15 December 2004.

In addition to amendments relating to the extension of the term of copyright protection in the USFTAI Act, the Amendment Act makes a number of amendments to provisions of the Act relating to criminal offences, presumptions, the exception to the reproduction right, and the scheme for limitation of remedies available against carriage service providers.
The amendments made to the Act by the USFTAI Act and the Copyright Legislation Amendment Act 2004 detail the nature of the limitations on remedies and set out the conditions that must be satisfied by a carriage service provider, in relation to certain online activities, before the limitations apply.

The Copyright Amendment Regulations 2004 amend the Copyright Regulations to provide procedures that form part of the conditions that must be satisfied by carriage service providers who intend to take advantage of the scheme. 
The Copyright Amendment Regulations 2004 were gazetted on 23 December 2004 and will come into effect on 1 January 2005.
