COPYRIGHT REGULATIONS
WARNING
A copyright owner is entitled to take legal action against a person who infringes his copyright. Unless
otherwise permitted by the Copyright Act, unauthorised copying of a work in which copyright
subsists may infringe the copyright in that work.
Where making a copy of a work is a fair dealing under section 35 of the Copyright Act, making that
copy is not an infringement of the copyright in the work. Where making a copy of an audio-visual
item is a fair dealing under section 109 of the Copyright Act, making that copy is not an infringement
of the copyright in the item or in any work or other audio-visual item included in the item.
It is a fair dealing to make a copy, for the purpose of research or study, of one or more articles on the
same subject-matter in a periodical publication or, in the case of any other work, of a reasonable
portion of a work. In the case of a published work that is not less than 10 pages and is not an artistic
work, 10% of the total number of pages, or one chapter, is a reasonable portion. In the case of an
electronic version of a published work that is not divided into pages and is not an artistic work, each
of the following is a reasonable portion:
(a) 10% of the total number of bytes in that edition;
(b) 10% of the total number of words in that edition or, where it is not practicable to use the
total number of words as a measure, 10% of the contents of that edition; or
(c) one chapter of the work.
More extensive copying may also constitute a fair dealing. To determine whether it does, it is
necessary to have regard to the criteria set out in sections 35 and 109 of the Copyright Act.
