(High Court of Australia) Kearney J considered what amounted to the authorisation of an infringement of a copyright work and approved a statement by Laddie that: ‘a person may be said to authorise another to commit an infringement if the one has some form of control over the other at the time of infringement or, if he has no such control, is responsible for placing in the other’s hands materials which by their nature are almost inevitably to be used for the purpose of infringement.’
