Question 1: 

Question 2:  Please refer to my answer to question 10 as it is interelated.

Question 3: 
Lets talk about caching. Caching is a temporary storage of some information whilst is it in transit. Think of it as a warehouse. It comes in one door and is stored for a shory while until delivery can be organised, then it is shipped out another door. This should have no implications for copyright at all. 
Indexing is the act of providing a way to find material. I fail to see how an index which lists a copyright item is an infringement. Without the index the copyright item would not be found and the copyright owner would loose the opportunity to sell the item.
Question 4: 
Please refer to my answer for Q3.

Question 7: 
YES! Not only should the owner of legally acquired copyright material be allowed to use it in any way they desire (for their OWN use) but they should be guaranteed that no restriction is placed upon their legal use of this material. Currently this is not the case as encoding and other copy protection mechanisms are commonly used to prevent legal use of copyright material.
Question 8: 
YES! Not only should the owner of legally acquired copyright material be allowed to use it in any way they desire (for their OWN use) but they should be guaranteed that no restriction is placed upon their legal use of this material. Currently this is not the case as encoding and other copy protection mechanisms are commonly used to prevent legal use of copyright material. The copyright act should be ammended to ensure that who legally acquire useage of copyright materials are not restricted or prevented from transposing or format shifting or backing up that material.
Question 9: 
If I ask my wife to record a TV program so I can watch it when I get home, this is not and should not be a breach of copyright. Likewise if I invite my neighbour to come in and watch the program with me, it is not a breach. This needs to be clearly understood as an exception. 
I see no reason for this basic concept to be any different for different media. Should it matter if the material is delivered by a radio signal to a TV recorder or via the internet to a computer or TV or some other device?
The distinction which should be clear here is that of the use of the material. As long as it is for domestic or private use, it is permitted. What should not be permitted is commercial use of the material, defined as where a profit is made due to the use of the material.
Question 10: 
I specifically want to provide an answer to this question. The entire review and questions provided are aimed toward protecting the rights of copright holders, however I believe the rights of legitimate users of copyright material also needs to be examined and protected. For example, if I purchase a piece of copyright material (a movie for example) and it is provided on optical media (cd or DVD or Blueray) I currently have the right to make a backup. However much of the time that right is expunged because the the media has been encripted in such a manner as to prevent me exercising my legal right to make a back up. Further to this, should the original media become damaged and un-usable I am then forced to purchase the entire copyright work again, I can't simply and cheaply ask for the media to be replaced, despite that fact I have already purcahsed a licence to use the material. This is a distinct inhibition to the use of the copyright material.
I recommend that users of copyright material have their rights to make a backup protected. This can be done either by not using any special encodoing in the manufacture of the original media or content, or through a system of readily available replacement of the copyright material at a minimal cost to the user. 
Question 11: 
Question 12: 
Question 13: 
Question 14: 

Question 15: 
A person who has legally acquired copyright material should be able to transform the storage and retreival of that material in any way they desire. This would include storing it online, on a music / video player, in a computer, on a CD/DVD etc. Not only should this be a legal right, but the Copyright Act should ensure that this legal right is enforced. This should not be confused with sharing the material.
