Reuses other publishers' content, in Singapore

Copyright Act 2021, ss. 190-191 (Fair Use) · Read the law's page

• You may make fair use of a work without permission (ss. 190-191); the Act has no separate quotation or news-summary exception.
• Judge fairness by the purpose and character of the use (including whether it is commercial or non-profit and educational), the nature of the work, the amount and substantiality of the portion used relative to the whole, and the effect of the use on the potential market for, or value of, the work (s. 191).
• Do not assume that reproducing a headline or a short extract from another outlet's reporting is fair use: it turns on that general four-factor test, with no headline-length or short-extract cap, and no reported Singapore decision has applied it to a systematic news aggregator.
