As the director of a program, am I entitled to claim Screenrights royalties?

In 2005 the Copyright Act was amended to give directors limited rights in their films. The Copyright Amendment (Film Directors’ Rights) Act provides for film directors to be joint copyright owners, along with producers, for the purpose of the Australian Retransmission Service only, from 19 December 2005. Directors’ rights only apply to programs that are not commissioned and where the director is not employed, unless a contractual agreement indicates that the director is a co-owner.
