Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, News Reporting and Quotation Exceptionssince 5 lines

Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act [Chapter 26:05] (Act 11 of 2000), ss. 29-31 · Read the law's page

  • You may reproduce a lecture, address, speech or similar work delivered in public in the press or a broadcast for the purpose of information without infringing copyright.
  • You may reproduce, in the press or in a broadcast or cable programme, an article published in a newspaper or periodical (or a broadcast) on a current economic, political or religious topic, if the right of reproduction has not been expressly reserved and you give sufficient acknowledgement.
  • Do not rely on either press exception where the use conflicts with a normal exploitation of the work or unreasonably prejudices the copyright owner's legitimate interests.
  • You may deal fairly with a work for criticism or review, or to report current events, with sufficient acknowledgement; this does not cover reporting current events by means of an audio-visual work, sound recording, broadcast or programme-carrying signal, and using a photograph to report current events is never fair dealing.
  • You may quote from a literary or musical work, including from a journal article that summarises the work, if the quotation is compatible with fair practice, does not exceed the extent justified by the purpose, and is sufficiently acknowledged.
