 * Lifting the parallel importation restrictions still found in the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
 * Allowing consumers to circumvent technological protection measures that control geographic market segmentation (see "Curtail attempts to restrict consumer rights" above).

 * Creating a right of resale in relation to digitally distributed content.
 * Restricting vendors' abilities to lock digital content into particular ecosystems.
 * Introducing a ban on geoblocking to address persistent market failures.
