Other commentators accused the Government of being too much in the thrall of major IT corporations such as Google and Facebook\n\nTo read more about this story go to: http://www.copyright.org.au/news-and-policy/details/id/1954/ To read the report, "},{"_key":"cb73ef3332401","_type":"span","marks":["5cbb64659f07"],"text":"click here"},{"_key":"cb73ef3332402","_type":"span","marks":[],"text":"\n\nFor inquiries relating to publishing and copyright law please contact "},{"_key":"cb73ef3332403","_type":"span","marks":["2a8f26c95083"],"text":"Adam Simpson"},{"_key":"cb73ef3332404","_type":"span","marks":[],"text":"."}],"markDefs":[{"_key":"5cbb64659f07","_type":"link","href":"http://www.ipo.gov.uk/ipreview.htm"},{"_key":"2a8f26c95083","_type":"link","href":"http://simpsons.com.au/people/adam-simpson/"}],"style":"normal"}],"publishedAt":"August 4th 2011","pageSEO":null,"title":"UK Releases Hargreaves Report"}},"pageContext":{"id":"-602c39f0-6e88-5c6f-bd21-3eb7eaf6e743"}},"staticQueryHashes":["4115437175"]}
