OWNERSHIP
Generally, the person who created the work (i.e. the author) owns
the copyright in the work.
COPYRIGHT AND THE INTERNET
Copyright Materials on the Internet
Copyright materials sent over the Internet or stored on web servers
are treated in the same manner as copyright material in other
media. The fact that they are made available on the Internet does
not constitute a waiver of copyright nor does it carry any implied
licence for anyone to download or reproduce the material without
the permission of the copyright owner.
It is good practice for all copyright owners to maintain
documentary evidence of the date of creation of the work, and
display a notice of copyright on the material posted on the
Internet. The documentary evidence will facilitate proof of
copyright should there be a need to enforce the copyright against a
third party.
RIGHTS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION (RMI)
Rights management information includes information identifying the
author of a work, and the terms and conditions relating to the use
of the work. Such information in electronic form may be attached to
or embodied in a copy of a work; or
appear in connection with the communication or making available to
the public a copy of a work.
It is used by authors of digital works to identify their works or
provide information about the copyright work. An example of an RMI
is a digital watermark that authenticates the source of a digital
photograph.
An action may be brought against a party if, without the consent of
the owner or exclusive licensee of the copyright in the work, the
party does any of the following acts:
(a) knowingly removes or alters the rights management information
relating to any work;
(b) distributes or imports for distribution the rights management
information relating to any work being rights management
information which has been altered; or
(c) distributes, imports for distribution, communicates or makes
available to the public copies of a work in which the rights
management information has been removed or altered.
Criminal Liability for Wilful Infringement
Where a party performs any of the above acts wilfully and for the
purpose of obtaining any commercial advantage, if convicted, he may
be liable to
a fine not exceeding $20,000 for (a); or
a fine not exceeding $20,000 or imprisonment for a term not
exceeding 2 years or both for (b) or (c).
Civil Remedies
The civil remedies for the copyright owner include
an injunction
either
- damages;
- account of profits; or
- an award of statutory damages in lieu of damages or account of
profits, of not more than $20,000; and/or
delivery up or destruction of the infringing copies.
INFRINGEMENT
Infringement occurs when one does something that only the copyright
owner has the exclusive rights to do, without his consent, or when
one commercially deals with infringing goods. Examples would be if
one photocopies an article without the consent of the copyright
owner or if one knowingly sells infringing goods.
It is important to note that one does not need to have reproduced
the entire copyright
work before infringement takes place. It is an infringement as long
as a substantial amount of the original work, quality-wise, has
been copied.
