These regulations come into force on 15 August 1995.

Regulation 3 declares the Advertising Standards Complaints Appeal Board and the Advertising Standards Complaints Board to be judicial bodies for the purposes of the Act. 'File definition of the term "judicial proceedings" in section 2 of the Act includes proceedings before a body prescribed as a judicial body. Sections 59 and 181 of the Act provide that copyright and performers' rights, respectively, are not infringed by anything done for the purposes of judicial proceedings or for the purposes of reporting such proceedings.

Regulation 4 declares the class of library constituted by libraries that are members of the interloan scheme jointly administered by the National Library and the New Zealand Library and Information Association: Te Rau Herenga o Aotearoa Incorporated to be a class of library for the purposes of section 50 of the Copyright Act 1994. Section 50 defines the term "prescribed library". The definition includes a library of any class of library prescribed by regulations, not being a library conducted for profit. Under sections 51 to 56 of the Act, librarians of prescribed libraries may make copies of or from certain copyright works, if the statutory conditions are met, without infringing copyright in those works.

Regulation 5 incorporates in these regulations 2 existing sets of regulations, the Copyright (Prescribed Body) (Christian Ministries for Disabled Trust) Regulations 1995 and the Copyright (Prescribed Body) (Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind) Regulations 1995.
