Other Systems forLegal Use without Clearance
Fair Use – Non-exhaustive Model
Fair Dealing – Exhaustive Model
Fair Use• Applicable in the US
• Purpose and character of use– Non commercial, educational - Fair use
• Nature of work– Factual rather than creative - Fair use
• Amount of work being copied– Cannot be too much of the entire work -
Fair use• Effect on market for work
– Should not negatively affect sales of original work - Fair use
Fair Dealing• UK, Commonwealth, HK• Prescribed in Hong Kong Copyright
Ordinance
– Research and private study– Criticism, review and news reporting– Incidental inclusion of copyright
material– Provisions for disabilities– Fair dealing for purposes instruction and
examination– Legal or Governmental Use
Fair Dealing (Cont')• Within the prescribed categories, 4 points
for considerations
– the purpose and nature of the dealing– the nature of the work– the amount and substantiality of the
portion dealt with in relation to whole work
– the effect on the potential market value of the work
Guidelines for Photocopying of Printed Works by Not-for-profit
Educational Establishments• Fair Dealing prescribed in HKCO in the
2007 amendment ultimately depends on the interpretation of the courts
• Guidelines developed by a group of users and copyright owners under the coordination of Intellectual Property Department
• Updated 2004
Guidelines (Cont.)• Articles in newspapers or periodicals - a
complete article of any length• Poems - not more than 250 words• Stories or essays - not more than 2,500
words• Textbook - not more than 2% of the
number of pages of a textbook in one month, not more than 5% in an academic year
• For articles in periodicals, poems, stories or essays - not more than 3 works from the same author for one course in an academic year
Copyright Clearance
• Use beyond Fair Dealing – Clearance Required
– Ask Author– Hong Kong Reprographic Rights
Licensing Society (HKRRLS)– Hong Kong Copyright Licensing
Association (HKCLA)– Composers and Authors Society of Hong
Kong (CASH)
Conclusion
• The current copyright system– Over-developed and Complicated– Probably biased towards the
Establishment
• Creative Commons – Simplify the System– Encourage the Respect of Copyright– Encourage Creativity
