Thanks are due to Dr. Michael D. Birnhack for sending this along:


An unofficial translation of the Israeli Copyright Act prepared by the
Israeli Ministry of Justice is available at

Some amendments noted by Dr. Birnhack are:
- s. 11(5) + 15 introduce the right of making available the work;
- s. 19 introduces a fair use (as opposed to a fair dealing) defense;
- s. 24 addresses copying of software;
- s. 26 addresses temporary copying;
- s. 30 has some interesting archives' exception;
- s. 35 re the first ownership of commissioned works;
- s. 50(b), re the reasonableness in the context of moral rights

There are no anti-circumvention rules.
