Copyright Act 1956 (UK) (4 & 5 Eliz. 2 c. 74), s. 6, as extended with modifications to British Guiana by the Copyright (British Guiana) Order 1966 (S.I. 1966 No. 79) · Read the law's page
- You may deal fairly with a literary, dramatic or musical work for the purpose of reporting current events in a newspaper, magazine or similar periodical, without the copyright owner's consent, provided the use is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgment (s. 6).
- Fair dealing for research, private study, criticism or review is separately permitted for those works (s. 6), and section 9 extends the same fair-dealing structure to artistic works for those purposes.
- Section 6 carries no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from the fair-dealing test, no reported Guyanese decision applies it to a systematic news aggregator, and Guyana has no dedicated press-publisher neighbouring right.
