Further Informaton on Copyright & Infringements

Fair Dealing
Under the provisions of the Copyright Act, copying the whole or a part of a copyright work is permissible as long as it is a 'fair dealing'. Factors that will be taken into account in deciding whether such copying is a fair dealing include the following:

•  purpose and character of the dealing, including whether such dealing is of a commercial nature or is for non-profit educational purposes;

•  nature of the work;

•  amount and substantiality of the part copied taken in relation to the whole work;

•  effect of the dealing upon the potential market for, or value of, the work;

•  the possibility of obtaining the work within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.

Where the copying is for the specific purposes of research or study, it shall be taken to be a fair dealing as long as the copying limits are observed. For a published work of at least 10 pages, the copying limits are up to 10% of the number of pages or one chapter, whichever is the greater.

In other cases, fair dealings for the purposes of criticism, review or reporting current events would not constitute copyright infringement. In the case of criticism or review and the reporting of current events in a newspaper, magazine or similar periodical, a sufficient acknowledgment of the work is required.

Other Exceptions
It is not an infringement if a person:

•  does anything which is the copyright owner's exclusive right to do if it is done for the purposes of judicial proceedings or professional legal advice;

•  makes a copy from an original copy of a computer programme, which he owns, for the purpose of using that duplicate copy as a back-up in the event that the original copy is lost, destroyed or rendered unusable;

•  decompiles a computer programme from a lower level language to obtain the information necessary to create an independent non-infringing computer programme which can be operated with the computer programme decompiled or with another computer programme if the information is unavailable and subject to the information not being used for other purposes and not being supplied to other persons; or

•  observes, studies or tests the functioning of a computer programme in order to determine the underlying ideas and principles if this is done while loading, displaying, running, transmitting or storing the computer programme insofar as he is entitled to do any of these latter acts.
