Copyright law in Australia has been developed over many years, with the government's stated intention to promote creative endeavour by balancing the rights of copyright owners with access to information and the rights of copyright users. Contract on the other hand expanded rapidly in the late twentieth century in response to the emergence of information in electronic format and the development of the internet. Contract has been defined as 'a facility for more closely defining informational property rights, structuring digital property', and has led to the increased commodification of information. (1) It is worth noting that the explanatory memorandum which accompanied the release of the Copyright Amendment (Digital Amendment) Bill 1999, includes a number of references to the Bill as part of the strategic framework for the development of the information economy.

As libraries and librarians are focused more on the social aspects of access to information it is to be expected that conflicting views would emerge in the copyright law versus contract debate.
