Copyright Act 1968

In proceedings against a person or body for infringement of copyright in a work in connection with the making, by or on behalf of an institution, of a reproduction of the work, or of a part of the work, the person or body is not entitled to rely on section 49 or 50 as justification for the making of the reproduction unless, at or about the time the reproduction was made, there was made on the reproduction a notation stating that the reproduction was made on behalf of that institution and specifying the date on which the reproduction was made.

A person commits an offence if:

the person makes a notation described in subsection (1) on a reproduction of a work or part of a work; and

a statement in the notation is false or misleading in a material particular.

For the purposes of subsection (1):

if a reproduction of the whole or part of a work, or a copy of a sound recording or a cinematograph film:

is made, or caused to be made, by an authorized officer of a library; or

is made by, or on behalf of, the officer in charge of a library;

if a reproduction of the whole or part of a work, or a copy of a sound recording or a cinematograph film:

is made, or caused to be made, by an authorized officer of a library; or

is made by, or on behalf of, the officer in charge of a library;

the reproduction or copy is taken to have been made on behalf of the person or body administering the library; and

that subsection applies as if references to an institution were references to that person or body; and

if a reproduction of the whole or part of a work, or a copy of a sound recording or a cinematograph film:

is made, or caused to be made, by an authorized officer of archives; or

is made by, or on behalf of, the officer in charge of archives;

the reproduction or copy is taken to have been made by or on behalf of the person or body administering the archives; and

that subsection applies as if references to an institution were references to that person or body; and

if a reproduction, or a record embodying a sound recording, of the whole or part of a work is made by or on behalf of the body administering an institution, the reproduction or record is taken to have been made on behalf of the institution; and

if a copy of a sound recording or a cinematograph film is made by or on behalf of the body administering an institution, the copy is taken to have been made on behalf of the institution.
