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

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.
