What it requires
- You may deal fairly with a work for the purpose of criticism or review, of that or another work or of a performance of a work, without infringing copyright, if you give sufficient acknowledgement.
- You may deal fairly with a work, other than a photograph, for the purpose of reporting current events if you give sufficient acknowledgement; no acknowledgement is needed where current events are reported by sound recording, film, broadcast or cable programme.
- Do not reproduce a newspaper or periodical article on a current topic wholesale: the Act has no broader exception for that.

Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law
What this law does
Fair dealing with a work for the purpose of criticism or review, of that or another work or of a performance of a work, does not infringe copyright provided it is accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement.
Fair dealing with a work, other than a photograph, for the purpose of reporting current events likewise does not infringe copyright provided it is accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement, except that no acknowledgement is required when current events are reported by sound recording, film, broadcast or cable programme. The Act carries no broader exception permitting wholesale reproduction of a newspaper or periodical article on a current topic.
