Both parties agreed that the subject of expansion in the scope of end-user criminal liability could be further examined together with the subject of exemptions for copyright restricted acts. To enable these related issues to be widely discussed and thoroughly considered, we proposed and the Legislative Council agreed to delete from the 2003 Bill all provisions related to end-user criminal liability.
