HK’s Amended Copyright Law

(Reflection on reading week 8)

The amended copyright law is really a good news for the education sector. The 'fair dealing' exemption helps teachers and students who need to use copyright materials for educational purposes. The ordinance is appropriate as it creates a win-win situation to both copyright owners and users (Indeed I think the ordinance is even more favorable to the users). The ordinance is set to be flexible too as the definitions of ‘fair’ and ‘reasonable’ require interpretations and judgments made by the court.
