Reuses other publishers' content, in Zambia

Copyright and Performance Rights Act, 1994, fair dealing for reporting current eventssince 3 lines

Copyright and Performance Rights Act, 1994 (Chapter 406), s. 21(1)(c) · Read the law's page

  • You may deal fairly with a work to report current events in a newspaper, magazine or similar periodical if you give a sufficient acknowledgement; the Act states no acknowledgement requirement where the report is made by broadcasting, inclusion in a cable program service, or use in an audiovisual work.
  • You may deal fairly with a work for criticism or review, if you give a sufficient acknowledgement.
  • Do not assume either exception covers a systematic aggregator's headlines and snippets: neither has a headline-length or short-extract cap, but that use, as against a newspaper's own current-events report, has not been tested in a reported Zambian decision.
