The findings are based on the results of a qualitative study undertaken with Australian SMSEs, in the form of in-depth semi-structured interviews.

Responsible Lending Compliance: A “Common Sense” Approach, Francina Cantatore
Francina Cantatore
In the wake of the July 2013 Enhancements to the National Consumer Credit Protection Act it has been necessary for credit providers to review and update their responsible lending processes. A year later, it is timely to assess whether enough has been done, and to consider if lenders are compliant. Inevitably, some grey areas exist under the new law which lenders need to deal with, and this paper will address some of those issues. Responsible lending is not a new phenomenon. It has been in place for consumer credit loans for some time; however, the recent enhancements required a revision …

The Migration Of The Book Across Territorial Borders: Copyright And Cultural Implications, Francina Cantatore
Francina Cantatore
Although the USA, Canada, UK and Australia currently retain territorial copyright laws, with commensurate restrictions on parallel importation of books, advances in technology and the advent of e-books have caused an involuntary migration of the book across these defined borders. This changing publishing sphere has impacted on authors’ copyright protection, with authors struggling to come to grips with breaches of copyright outside the protection of their own borders. Additionally, the extra-territorial publication of books are often in breach of authors’ copyright but difficult to address locally. A secondary consequence of the changing publishing environment is the loss of cultural essence …
