This document discusses exceptions and limitations to copyright, including fair dealing, private copying, library exceptions, and flexible dealing. It provides details on how and when these exceptions can be applied, including limitations around quantities of material that can be copied under fair dealing for research/study and requirements that must be met for flexible dealing. The document also addresses issues around orphan works and taking reasonable steps to locate copyright holders before applying exceptions.

• Age of the work
• Published or unpublished work
• Potential concerns of the creator – deceased,
alive, interests of the estate
• Extent of the planned use
• Reasonable enquiries of others
• Common sense

The use does:
• Not conflict with
normal exploitation of
the work;

23. Orphan Works – Large scale uses and “special case”
Where collection consists predominantly of orphan works
Scalable search:
• Conduct reasonable enquiries
into a proportion of the
collection
• “reasonable enquiries” -

What do we know so far... exceptions to copyright are not defences to infringement, rather they define the boundaries of the copyright holders’ rights by allowing people to use copyright works without permission for certain permitted purposes
Educational institutions are permitted to copy a ‘reasonable portion’ of a works and TV or radio broadcasts for educational purposes – which is typically 10%. These licences are administered by CAL and Screenrights. Notably, uses of a reasonable portion of works for educational purposes are covered by the fair use exception in the United States and are free.

Format shifting – only between certain for - Books, newspapers and periodicals different format Photograph hardcopy format electronic format Analogue electronicmats
Research or study – broadest of fair dealing exceptions – s40 – rigorous statutory guidelines on amounts that can be reproduced (for an approved course of study by enrolled external student of an educational institution). “reasonable portion” – work of at least 10 pages in a published edition – 10% of the number of pages in the edition; or (if divided into chapters) – a single chapter. In electronic form – 10% of the number of words or a single chapter. Comment on The Panel– would my use of an image of the panel be an infringement of copyright – consider whether it comes within fair dealing for criticism or review – is my use a critique of the work? Or merely illustrative? A Current Affair extract showing disguises used to protect identity of persons was not genuine criticism – poking fun cf. Days of Our Lives being a comment on loss of originality and novelty in the show. Sunday Program – drugs in sport – reporting news. Footy Show image of Russian president – for humorous purposes, not parody or satire.

For purposes that are “governmental” in nature. Government can authorise anyone (including non government libraries) to deal with copyright material on its behalf. Authorisation in writing, before or after material used Can take advantage of other exceptions, and not limited to ordinary deeming provisions (10% or 1 chapter) Traditionally activities of libraries/galleries etc not considered Governmental Little case law: House of Lords decision in Pfizer v Ministry of Health “supply of medicine to the national health service hospitals for use in the treatment of patients is ‘for the services of the Crown’ (Re Patent law application). Bowen CJ thought it possible this extends to services provided by the Crown or its servants to members of the public
Library and archival copying provisions only available to libraries whose collections are available to the public (inc. by interlibrary loan). Under section 52, libraries may also publish an unpublished work where the creator simply is not known, the use will form part of a new work and meets the requirements of section 51. There is no equivalent exception for sound recordings or films. This is not an orphan works exception because it does not apply where the creator or current copyright holder is not locatable and only allows very limited uses. Preservation copying - Under the preservation copying exceptions in sections 51A for works and 110B for other subject matter, a library may make copies for the following purposes: First , to preserve manuscripts or original artistic works against loss, damage, deterioration or to provide a copy for research at another library. Second , to replace a published work that has been damaged, deteriorated, lost or stolen. Third , for ‘administrative purposes’ directly related to the care or control of the collection. This includes educating and training staff and volunteers on the management of the collection, but does not include a reproduction to add to the collection so as to make more copies available for lending. To make a perseveration copy, the library must not be able to obtain a copying within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price, or must have a good reason to make the copy. This does not include second hand copies of the work, or later editions of the work. A museum may only make very limited uses of preservation copies – it may not make the work otherwise available to the public. Key cultural institutions may use special preservation copying exceptions under sections 51B for works and 110BA and 112AA for other subject matter. Key cultural institutions have a legislative function of developing or maintaining a collection. Unlike the normal preservation exception, key cultural institutions may make up to 3 pre-emptive copies of material for the purpose of preserving against loss or deterioration for manuscripts, original artistic works, published works, first or unpublished copies of sound recordings, and first or unpublished copies of films. An authorised officer must make a declaration that they are satisfied that the work is of historical or cultural significance to Australia. Under section 52, libraries may also publish an unpublished work where the creator simply is not known, the use will form part of a new work and meets the requirements of section 51.

A museum may only make very limited uses of preservation copies – it may not make the work otherwise available to the public. Since 2006, an institution may now make a reproduction of a published work even if a later edition of the work is commercially available (new s 51A(4)) Authorised officer must make a declaration stating: No new copy of the work can be obtained within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price Providing the reason for reproduction of that particular edition
Key cultural institutions may use special preservation copying exceptions under sections 51B for works and 110BA and 112AA for other subject matter. Key cultural institutions have a legislative function of developing or maintaining a collection. Unlike the normal preservation exception, key cultural institutions may make up to 3 pre-emptive copies of material for the purpose of preserving against loss or deterioration for manuscripts, original artistic works, published works, first or unpublished copies of sound recordings, and first or unpublished copies of films.

Access is key goal driving activities of cultural institutions. But online access is the communication right, and in the case of unpublished works, the publication right. to enable cultural institutions to ‘access, and promote access to, copyright material in the online environment on reasonable terms, including having regard to the benefits of public access to the material and the provision of adequate remuneration to creators and investors’’. Apply the 3 step test. Ability to provide online access to materials depends predominantly on the economic and non-economic interests of the copyright holder.

I.e. Conversion of VHS to DVD – relevant consideration is, is the copyright holder currently selling the same film on DVD? This format shifting under s200AB would deprive them of a sale. NOTE: Circumvention of TPMs
An orphan work is material that is protected by copyright, but the current copyright holder is unknown or un-locatable after reasonable enquiries, hence the work is thought of as ‘orphaned’. The current copyright holder could be the long dead author of the work, the author’s estate, the author’s heirs, a since defunct company and so on. Orphan works may be published or unpublished, and cover both works and other subject matter, including: letters, photographs, diaries, books, audio histories and home movies. Remember, orphan unpublished works may be in copyright perpetually
Document the steps you’ve taken to track down the copyright holder – i.e. NLA s200AB checklist Hathi Trust – mass digitisation
s200AB checklist Exercise using scenarios in groups
British Library, UK Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance endorse proportion searching Cf. HathiTrust
Remember, use common sense – difference between using digitising image for online image bank, and say reproducing image on t-shirts to sell at the museum.
