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
