(6) For the purposes of this section an adaptation of a work shall be taken to be similar to an adaptation thereof contained in previous records if the two adaptations do not substantially differ in their treatment of the work, either in respect of style or (apart from any difference in numbers) in respect of the performers required for performing them.

(7) Where, for the purposes of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of this section, any person requires to know whether such previous records as are mentioned in that paragraph were made or imported as therein mentioned, that person may make the prescribed inquiries; and if the owner of the copyright fails to reply to those inquiries within the prescribed period,

306 Copyright 1962, No. 33

the previous records shall be taken to have been made or im- ported, as the case may be, with the licence of the owner of that copyright.

(8) The preceding provisions of this section shall apply in relation to records of part of a work as they apply in relation to records of the whole of it :

Provided that subsection (1) of this section- (a) Shall not apply to a record of the whole of a work

unless the previous records to which paragraph (a) of that subsection applies were records of the whole of the work or of a similar adaptation; and

(b) Shall not apply to a record of part of a work unless those previous records were records of, or comprising, that part of the work or of a similar adaptation.

(9) In relation to musical works published before the first day of April, nineteen hundred and fourteen, the preceding provisions of this section shall apply as if paragraph (a) of subsection (1), paragraph (b) of subsection (4), subsections (6) and (7), and the proviso to subsection (8) of this section were omitted:

Provided that this subsection shall not extend the operation of subsection (4) of this section to a record in respect of which the condition specified in paragraph (b) of that subsection is not fulfilled, unless the words comprised in the record (as well as the musical work) were published before the first day of April, nineteen hundred and fourteen, and were so published as words to be sung to, or spoken incidentally to or in associa- tion with, the music.

(10) Nothing in this section, other than the express authority to import in subsection (1) , shall be construed as authorising the importation of records which could not law- fully be imported apart from this section; and accordingly, for the purposes of any provision of this Act relating to imported articles, where the question arises whether the making of a record made outside New Zealand would have constituted an infringement of copyright if the record had been made in New Zealand, that question shall be determined as if subsec- tion (1) of this section had not been enacted.

(11 ) The Governor-General may from time to time, by Order in Council, make regulations for the purpose of para- graph (d) of subsection (1) of this section, which regulations may prescribe the manner in which and the time at which royalties shall be paid and the steps to be taken to ensure the receipt of the royalties by the owner of the copyright, and shall apply subject to any agreement to the contrary.

1962, No. 33 Copyright 307

(12) Any person who claims that the owner of the copy- right or his agent has unreasonably refused to agree to some method of payment other than that prescribed under sub- section (11) of this section, or has made his agreement sub- ject to unreasonable conditions, may apply to the Tribunal, which, after hearing the parties or considering their written submissions, may approve some other method of payment either absolutely, or subject to such conditions as to security or otherwise, as the Tribunal thinks fit. Every such approval shall have effect according to its tenor. .

(13) Any regulations made for the purpose of subsection (2) of this section may exclude sales tax from the retail price for the purpose of calculating the royalty.

Cf. Copyright Act 1956, s. 8 (U.K.); 1913, No. 4, s. 25 (2) -(7)

23. Revision of royalty rate-( 1) If at any time after the end of the period of one year from the date of the commence- ment of this Act it appears to the Minister of Justice that the ordinary rate of royalty or the minimum amount thereof, in accordance with the provisions of section 22 of this Act, or with those provisions as last varied by an order under this section, may have ceased to be equitable, either generally or in relation to any class of records, he may request the Copy- right Tribunal to hold an inquiry into the matter.

(2) The Tribunal shall thereupon conduct a public inquiry and shall report thereon to the Minister.

(3) At any time after the Tribunal presents such a report, the Governor-General may by Order in Council prescribe such different rate or amount, either generally or in relation to any class of records, as he may consider just, and every such Order in Council shall have effect on the date specified therein.

(4) Every order made under subsection (3) of this section shall be laid before Parliament.

(5) Notwithstanding anything in this section, the Minister shall not request the Tribunal to hold an inquiry under this section before the expiration of three years after the last pre- ceding report of the Tribunal was made.

REMEDIES FOR INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT

24. Action by owner of copyright for infringement- (1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, infringements of copyright shall be actionable at the suit of the owner of the copyright; and in any action for such an infringement all such relief, by way of damages, injunction, accounts, or other- wise, shall be available to the plaintiff as is available in any corresponding proceedings in respect of infringements of other proprietary rights.

(2) Where in an action for infringement of copyright it is proved or admitted-

(a) That an infringement was committed; but (b) That at the time of the infringement the defendant was

not aware, and had no reasonable grounds for sup- posing, that it was an infringement of copyright,-

the plaintiff shall not be entitled under this section to any damages against the defendant in respect of the infringement, but shall be entitled to an account of profits in respect of the infringement, whether any other relief is granted under this section or not.

(3) Where in an action under this section an infringement of copyright is proved or admitted, and the Court, having regard (in addition to all other material considerations) to-

(a) The flagrancy of the infringement; and (b) Any benefit shown to have accrued to the defendant by

reason of the infringement,- is satisfied that effective relief would not otherwise be avail- able to the plaintiff, the Court, in assessing damages for the infringement, shall have power to award such additional damages by virtue of this subsection as the Court may con- sider appropriate in the circumstances.

(4) In an action for infringement of copyright in respect of the construction of a building, no injunction or other order shall be made-

(a) After the construction of the building has been begun, so as to prevent it from being completed; or

(b) So as to require the building, in so far as it has been constructed, to be demolished.

(5) In this Part of this Act the term "action" includes a counterclaim, and references to the plaintiff and to the defendant in an action shall be construed accordingly.

25. Rights of owner of copyright in respect of infringing copies, etc.-( 1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the owner of any copyright shall be entitled to all such rights and remedies, in respect of the conversion or detention by any person of any infringing copy, or of any plate used or intended to be used for making infringing copies, as he would be entitled to if he were the owner of every such copy or plate and had been the owner thereof since the time when it was made:

Provided that if, by virtue of subsection (2) of section 5 of the Limitation Act 1950 (which relates to successive. con- versions or detentions), the title of the owner of the copyright to such a copy or plate would (if he had then been the owner of the copy or plate) have been extinguished at the end of the period mentioned in that subsection or corresponding provi- sion, he shall not be entitled to any rights or remedies under this subsection in respect of any thing done in relation to that copy or plate after the end of that period.

(2) A plaintiff shall not be entitled by virtue of this section to any damages against a person who at the time he came into possession of infringing copies or infringing plates was not aware and had no reasonable grounds for supposing they were infringing copies or plates, but the plaintiff shall have the following rights:

(a) The right to delivery up of infringing plates, on notice, without compensation to the person who innocently held them, or damages if they are not so delivered;

(b) The right to delivery up of infringing copies upon pay- ment to the person who held them of the cost of those copies;

(c) The right to leave the copies in the hands of the person holding them on the basis that that person may law- fully dispose of them; and

310 Copyright 1962, No. 33

(2) Subject to the following provisions of this section- (a) The exclusive licensee shall (except against the owner

of the copyright) have the same rights of action, and be entitled to the same remedies, under section 24 of this Act as if the licence had been an assignment, and those rights and remedies shall be concurrent with the rights and remedies of the owner of the copyright under that section;

(b) The exclusive licensee shall (except against the owner of the copyright) have the same rights of action, and be entitled to the same remedies, by virtue of section 25 of this Act as if the licence had been an assignment; and

(c) The owner of the copyright shall not have any rights of action, or be entitled to any remedies, by virtue of section 25 of this Act which he would not have had or been entitled to if the licence had been an assignment.

(3) Where an action is brought either by the owner of the copyright or by the exclusive licensee, and the action, in so far as it is brought under section 24 of this Act, relates (wholly or partly) to an infringement in respect of which they have concurrent rights of action under that section, the owner or licensee, as the case may be, shall not be entitled, except with the leave of the Court, to proceed with the action, in so far as it is brought under that section and relates to that infringe- ment, unless the other party is either joined as a plaintiff in the action or added as a defendant:

Provided that this subsection shall not affect the granting of an interlocutory injunction on the application of either of them.

(4) In any action brought by the exclusive licensee by virtue of this section, any defence which would have been available to a defendant in the action, if this section had not been enacted and the action had been brought by the owner of the copyright, shall be available to that defendant as against the exclusive licensee.

(5) Where an action is brought in the circumstances men- tioned in subsection (3) of this section, and the owner of the copyright and the exclusive licensee are not both plaintiffs in the action, the Court, in assessing damages in respect of any such infringement as is mentioned in that subsection,-

(a) If the plaintiff is the exclusive licensee, shall take into account any liabilities (in respect of royalties or otherwise) to which the licence is subject; and

1962, No. 33 Copyright 311

(b) Whether the plaintiff is the owner of the copyright or the exclusive licensee, shall take into account any pecuniary remedy already awarded to the other party under section 24 of this Act in respect of that infringement, or, as the case may require, any right of action exercisable by the other party under that section in respect thereof.

(6) Where an action, in so far as it is brought under section 24 of this Act, relates (wholly or partly) to an infringement in respect of which the owner of the copyright and the exclusive licensee have concurrent rights of action under that section, and in that action (whether they are both parties to it or not) an account of profits is directed to be taken in respect of that infringement, then, subject to any agreement of which the Court is aware whereby the application of those profits is determined as between the owner of the copyright and the exclusive licensee, the Court shall apportion the profits between them as the Court may consider just, and shall give such directions as the Court may consider appropriate for giving effect to that apportionment.

(7) In an action brought either by the owner of the copy- right or by the exclusive licensee,-

(a) No judgment or order for the payment of damages in respect of an infringement of copyright shall be given or made under section 24 of this Act, if a final judg- ment or order has been given or made awarding an account of profits to the other party under that section in respect of the same infringement; and

(b) No judgment or order for an account of profits in respect of an infringement of copyright shall be given or made under that section, if a final judgment or order has been given or made awarding either damages or an account of profits to the other party under that section in respect of the same infringe- ment.

(8) Where, in an action brought in the circumstances men- tioned in subsection (3) of this section, whether by the owner of the copyright or by the exclusive licensee, the other party is not joined as a plaintiff (either at the commencement of the action or subsequently), but is added as a defendant, he shall not be liable for any costs in the action unless he enters an appearance and takes part in the proceedings.

(9) In this section "exclusive licence" means a licence in writing, signed by or on behalf of an owner of copyright,

312 Copyright 1962, No. 33

authorising the licensee, to the exclusion of all other persons, including the grantor of the licence, to exercise a right which by virtue of this Act would (apart from the licence) be exercisable exclusively by the owner of the copyright, and "exclusive licensee" shall be construed accordingly; "the other party", in relation to the owner of the copyright, means the exclusive licensee, and, in relation to the exclusive licensee, means the owner of the copyright; and "if the licence had been an assignment" means if, instead of the licence, there had been granted (subject to terms and conditions correspond- ing as nearly as may be with those subject to which the liCence was granted) an assignment of the copyright in respect of its application to the doing, at the places and times authorised by the licence, of the acts so authorised.

(6) Paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (5) of this section shall apply where a work has been published, and-

(a) The publication was anonymous, or was under a name alleged by the plaintiff to have been a pseudonym; and

(b) It is not shown that the work has ever been published under the true name of the author, or under a name by which he was commonly known, or that it is possible for a person without previous knowledge of the facts to ascertain the identity of the author by reasonable inquiry,-

(b) That, under the arrangements in accordance with which the programmes are broadcast by that organisation, charges are payable by or on behalf of the organisa- tion to another body, as being the body entitled under the relevant copyright law to authorise the broadcasting of those works from that place,

the Tribunal shall, subject to subsection (2) of this section, exercise its powers under this Part of this Act as the Tribunal

A-12*

324 Copyright 1962, No. 33

may consider appropriate for securing that the persons requir- ing the licences are exempted from the payment of any charges for them in so far as the licences are required for the purpose of distributing those programmes.

(2) If on such a reference as is mentioned in subsection (1) of this section the Tribunal is satisfied as to the matters men- tioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection, but it is shown to the satisfaction of the Tribunal that the charges payable by or on behalf of the organisation, as mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection,-

(b) Do not adequately reflect the extent to which it is likely that those persons will cause those works to be so transmitted in consequence of their being so broad- cast,

subsection (1) of this section shall not apply, but the Tribunal shall exercise its powers under this Part of this Act so as to secure that the charges payable for the licences, in so far as the licences are required for the purpose mentioned in sub- section (1) of this section, are on a scale not exceeding that appearing to the Tribunal to be requisite for making good the deficiency (as mentioned in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this subsection, as the case may be) in the charges payable by or on behalf of the organisation broadcasting the works.

(3) The preceding provisions of this section shall have effect, with the necessary modifications, in relation to applications under this Part of this Act as they have effect in relation to references thereunder.

(4) In this section "the relevant copyright law", in relation to works broadcast from a place outside New Zealand, means so much of the laws of the country in which that place is situated as confers rights similar to copyright under this Act or as otherwise relates to such rights.
