Section 43C

(2)

(a)

the making of a temporary reproduction of a work if the reproduction is made from:

a copy of the work where the copy is made in another country and would be an infringing copy of the work if the person who made the copy had done so in Australia; or

43C Reproducing works in books, newspapers and periodical publications in different form for private use

the owner of a book, newspaper or periodical publication makes from it a reproduction (the main copy) of a work contained in the book, newspaper or periodical publication; and

(b)

the main copy is made for his or her private and domestic use instead of the work as contained in the book, newspaper or periodical publication; and

(c)

the main copy embodies the work in a form different from the form in which the work is embodied in the book, newspaper or periodical publication; and

(d)

the book, newspaper or periodical publication itself is not an infringing copy of either the work or a published edition of the work; and

(e)

at the time the owner makes the main copy, he or she has not made, and is not making, another copy that embodies the work in a form substantially identical to the form of the main copy.

For this purpose, disregard a temporary reproduction of the work incidentally made as a necessary part of the technical process of making the main copy.

Section 43C

(2) The making of the main copy is not an infringement of copyright in the work or a published edition of the work.

Dealing with main copy may make it an infringing copy

sold; or

let for hire; or

(c)

by way of trade offered or exposed for sale or hire; or

distributed for the purpose of trade or otherwise.

Reproducing work from main copy may infringe copyright

(5) Subsection (2) does not prevent the main copy from being an infringing copy for the purpose of working out whether this section applies again in relation to the making of another reproduction of the work from the main copy.

Disposal of book etc. may make the main copy an infringing copy

Status of temporary reproduction

(7) If subsection (2) applies to the making of the main copy only as a result of disregarding the incidental making of a temporary reproduction of the work as a necessary part of the technical process of making the main copy, then:

(a) if the temporary reproduction is destroyed at the first practicable time during or after the making of the main copy—the making of the temporary reproduction does not infringe copyright in the work or a published edition of the work; or

Section 44

(b) if the temporary reproduction is not destroyed at that time— the making of the temporary reproduction is taken always to have infringed copyright (if any) subsisting in the work and the published edition of the work from which the main copy was made.

44 Inclusion of works in collections for use by places of education

(1)

The copyright in a published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work is not infringed by the inclusion of a short extract from the work, or, in the case of a published literary, dramatic or musical work, from an adaptation of the work, in a collection of literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works contained in a book, sound recording or cinematograph film and intended for use by places of education if:

Where a literary, dramatic or musical work, or an adaptation of such a work, is performed in public, by the operation of reception equipment or by the use of a record, at premises where persons reside or sleep, as part of the amenities provided exclusively for residents or inmates of the premises or for those residents or inmates and their guests, the performance does not constitute an infringement of the copyright in the work.

47 Reproduction for purpose of broadcasting

(1)

Where the broadcasting by a person of a literary, dramatic or musical work, or of an adaptation of such a work, would not (whether by reason of an assignment or licence or of the operation of a provision of this Act) constitute an infringement of the copyright in the work, but the making by the person of a sound recording or a cinematograph film of the work or adaptation would, apart from this subsection, constitute such an infringement, the copyright in the work is not infringed by the making by the person of such a recording or film solely for the purpose of the broadcasting of the work or adaptation.

(2)

The last preceding subsection does not apply in relation to a recording or film if a record embodying the recording or a copy of the film is used for a purpose other than:

(4)

A person who has given an undertaking referred to in the last preceding subsection is liable, when the Copyright Tribunal has determined the amount to which the undertaking relates, to pay that amount to the owner of the copyright in the work and the owner may recover that amount in a court of competent jurisdiction from the person as a debt due to the owner.

(5)

Subsection (1) of this section does not apply in relation to a recording or film unless, before the expiration of the period of 12 months commencing on the day on which any of the records embodying the recording or any of the copies of the film is first used for broadcasting the work or adaptation in accordance with that subsection, or before the expiration of such further period, if any, as is agreed between the maker of the recording or film and the owner of the copyright in the work, all the records embodying the recording or all the copies of the film are destroyed or are delivered, with the consent of the Director-General of the Australian Archives, to the Australian Archives.

the original photograph itself is not an infringing copy of a work or published edition of a work; and

(c)

either:

(i)

the original photograph is in hardcopy form and the main copy is in electronic form; or

(d)

at the time the owner makes the main copy, he or she has not made, and is not making, another reproduction of the original photograph that embodies the original photograph in a form substantially identical to the form of the main copy.

For this purpose, disregard a temporary reproduction of the original photograph incidentally made as a necessary part of the technical process of making the main copy.

(2) The making of the main copy is not an infringement of copyright:

(a)

in the original photograph; or

(b)

in a work, or published edition of a work, included in the original photograph.

Dealing with main copy may make it an infringing copy

let for hire; or

(c)

by way of trade offered or exposed for sale or hire; or

Status of temporary reproduction

(7) If subsection (2) applies to the making of the main copy only as a result of disregarding the incidental making of a temporary reproduction of the original photograph as a necessary part of the technical process of making the main copy, then:

(a)

if the temporary reproduction is destroyed at the first practicable time during or after the making of the main copy—the making of the temporary reproduction does not infringe copyright in the original photograph or a work, or published edition of a work, included in the original photograph; or

(b)

if the temporary reproduction is not destroyed at that time— the making of the temporary reproduction is taken always to have infringed copyright (if any) subsisting in the original photograph or a work, or published edition of a work, included in the original photograph.
