Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, Chapter 222, s. 14 (fair use) · Read the law's page

  • A quotation from a published work, including a press summary, is not an infringement where it is compatible with fair practice, no more extensive than the purpose justifies, and credits the source work.
  • Reproducing an enactment, a court decision, a government inquiry report, or the news of the day (fresh reports of current events, including from the internet) does not infringe copyright, because these are excluded from protection outright.
  • There is no text-and-data-mining exception and no database right in Uganda: training on or extracting from a compiled dataset of copyrighted works rests only on the general fair-use grounds in section 14, if it can be characterised as one of them.
