Content Policy

1. Introduction

Daily Drip News (“we,” “our,” or “the Platform”) operates as an online news aggregation and press release distribution service, curating and republishing content sourced from various reputable media outlets, governmental bodies, and other public information providers. Our primary objective is to deliver timely and accessible news to our audience, facilitating informed public discourse. This Content Policy outlines our practices concerning the sourcing, use, and dissemination of third-party content, ensuring compliance with applicable Australian laws and regulations.

2. Sourcing and Use of Third-Party Content

We do not engage in original journalism or content creation. Instead, we aggregate and republish content from publicly available sources, including but not limited to:

  • Major Australian news agencies
  • Government press releases and official statements
  • Publicly accessible reports and publications

Each piece of content is accompanied by appropriate attribution to the original source, including the publication name, author (if available), and a direct link to the original material. This practice ensures transparency and allows our audience to verify the information independently.

3. Compliance with Australian Copyright Law

Australia’s copyright law, as outlined in the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth), provides protection to original works, including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works. The Act grants authors exclusive rights to reproduce, publish, perform, and adapt their works.

We acknowledge that the use of third-party content may infringe upon these exclusive rights. However, we rely on the “fair dealing” provisions under the Act, which permit limited use of copyrighted material without permission for specific purposes, including:

  • Reporting the news: The reproduction of excerpts from news articles for the purpose of reporting current events.
  • Criticism or review: The use of content for the purpose of critique or commentary.

Each use is assessed on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as:

  • The purpose and character of the use
  • The nature of the copyrighted work
  • The amount and substantiality of the portion used
  • The effect of the use on the market value of the original work

We strive to ensure that our use of third-party content aligns with these provisions, balancing the rights of content creators with the public interest in accessing information.

4. Attribution and Transparency

To uphold the integrity of the original works and provide our audience with context, we ensure that all republished content is properly attributed. This includes:

  • Clearly stating the original source of the content
  • Providing links to the full original material when available
  • Indicating the publication date and author (if known)

In cases where we paraphrase or summarise content, we maintain the original meaning and provide appropriate attribution to the source. Our aim is to inform and educate our audience without misrepresenting the original work.

5. User-Generated Content

While our platform primarily aggregates third-party content, we may allow users to submit comments or feedback. By submitting content, users grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, modify, and display their submissions on our platform. Users are prohibited from submitting content that:

  • Infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others
  • Is defamatory, obscene, or offensive
  • Violates any applicable laws or regulations

We reserve the right to remove any user-generated content that violates these guidelines.

6. Liability and Disclaimers

We endeavour to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the content we republish. However, we do not guarantee the completeness or timeliness of the information. The views and opinions expressed in the original works are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect our views.

We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in the content or for any actions taken based on the information provided. Users are encouraged to consult the original sources for comprehensive information.

7. Privacy and Data Protection

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. Our Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect personal information. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and other applicable privacy laws.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this Content Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, industry standards, or our operational practices. Users will be notified of significant changes through appropriate channels.
