Copyright Act, current-events reporting exceptionsince 3 lines

Copyright Act, Cap. 252 (Act No. 12 of 2000, Revised Edition 2020), s. 57(2) · Read the law's page

  • You may deal fairly with a protected work, other than a photograph, for the purpose of reporting current events without infringing copyright, if the reporting is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement of the work's title and author.
  • You need not give that acknowledgement where the reporting is by sound recording, film, broadcast or cable programme.
  • Judge fairness by the section 58 four-factor test: the nature of the work, the extent of the part used, the effect on the work's potential market, and the purpose and character of the use; there is no fixed headline-length or short-extract cap.
