COPYRIGHT AND YOU

What is Copyright?

Copyright is an intellectual property right recognized and protected by law. In Singapore this is essentially covered under theCopyright Act (Cap. 63).

Copyright exists in all forms of works, such as books, periodicals, magazines, compilations of information, photographs, diagrams,dances, scripts for plays, computer programs, drawings, sculpture, musical scores, lyrics, sound recordings, cinematographicfilms, television broadcasts, sound recordings and cable programmes etc.

Who Owns Copyright and What Rights Does It Confer the Owner?

Generally, the author of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work is the owner of the copyright.

In the case of other forms of copyrighted materials etc, sound recordings and films, the maker is the copyright owner, althoughin both cases, these rights could be subject to assignments.

The owner of a copyrighted work has monopoly rights to reproduce, publish, communicate to the public, perform or make anadaptation of the work. It is an infringement of such rights for any other person to do such acts without the consent of thecopyright owner.

Where a student downloads songs/movies/software or photocopies entire or substantial portions of a book, he would probablyhave infringed copyright. In the context of students in Singapore, these are the most frequent type of copyright infringement. It is also an infringement to authorise others to infringe copyright. To illustrate the latter, if you take a book to a photocopyingshop and request for a copy of the book, you as the person who authorises the copying are liable for copyright infringementeven though the shop assistant does the actual photocopying.

What Are The Consequences and Copyright Infringement?

A person found guilty of copyright infringement could be liable for civil and criminal sanctions depending on the nature of theoffending acts.

Civil liabilities include an order by the Court for the infringer to pay the copyright owner compensation in the form of monetarydamages. If you have made any profit from the infringing acts, you could be made to pay all profits you may have made. Thecopyright owner would probably also obtain an injunction to prevent further infringement.

Criminal sanctions may be very serious. If a person commits infringement wilfully and the infringement is either significant orthe infringer commits the infringement to obtain a commercial advantage, he would be liable, if convicted, to a fine notexceeding $20,000 and/or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months. In the case of a second or subsequent offence,the maximum fine and imprisonment term are $50,000 and 3 years respectively.

Therefore, massive regular downloading of songs or movies using peer-to-peer networks, for example, could be consideredto be wilful and significant infringement, and result in the commission of a criminal offence by the downloader.

A person in the possessions of 5 or more infringing copies of any work is presumed to be in possession of the same for sale.The statutory penalties for copyright infringement for the purpose of sale are a fine of $10,000/- for each infringing article or$100,000/- whichever is lower. The Court may also impose a term of imprisonment not exceeding 5 years.

In both cases, the Court may also order that all infringing copies or any article predominantly used for making infringing copiesbe either destroyed or surrendered to the owner.

Is Any Copying Permitted?

Yes, the law provides certain exceptions under which copying is not considered infringement.

Copying of works in the following instances will not constitute infringement:-

1. You are deemed to have copied for the purpose of self-study or research and therefore not infringed copyright if:-

(a) you copy one article in a periodical publication;

(b) where a literary, dramatic or musical work is not less than 10 pages, you copy up to 10% of the number of pages in a published edition of the work or if the work is divided into chapters, up to one chapter.

If you copy in excess of the above limits, you will be deemed not to have copied for the purpose of self-study or research.You will then have the burden of proving that your copying constitutes a fair dealing of the work. The factors to be consideredare:-

(i) the purpose and character of the dealing, including whether such dealing is of a commercial nature or is for non-profiteducational purpose;

32

Annex M

33

(ii) the nature of the work or adaptation;

(iii) the amount and substantiality of the part copied taken in relation to the whole work or adaptation; and

(iv) the effect of the dealing upon the potential market for, or value of, the work or adaptations.

2. In the case of literary, dramatic or musical works in electronic form, you are deemed to have copied for the purpose of self-study or research and therefore not infringed copyright if:-

(a) you copy not more than 10% of the total number of bytes in that edition; or

(b) 10% of the total number of words in that edition or, where it is not practicable to use the total number of words as a measure, 10% of the contents of that edition.

If you copy in excess of the above limits, you will be deemed not to have copied for the purpose of self-study or research,and the factors in 1(i) to (iv) will be considered to establish fair dealing in the work.

3. The making of a copy of a computer program is not copyright infringement if the reproduction is made on behalf of theowner and the reproduction is for the purpose of being used as a back-up copy of the original computer program.

4. Subject to certain qualifications specified in the Copyright Act, you will not infringe copyright in an audio-visual work (suchas sound recording, cinematograph film, sound broadcast, television broadcast or cable programme) if the copying wasfor research or private study.

5. You may copy a film or recording of television or sound broadcast or cable programmes provided that such copy is madefor private and domestic use. If the film or recording is seen or heard in public, it shall be deemed to be made not forprivate and domestic use.

6. You may copy literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work for the purpose of criticism or review, and for the reporting of currentevents, provided a sufficient acknowledgement of the work is made.

7. You may copy a work after the copyright in the work ceases to subsist.

How Long Does Copyright Subsists?

For all literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, copyright shall subsist for the lifetime of the author and 70 years after hisdeath.

Copyright in sound recordings and films will subsist for 70 years from the date of first publication whereas for television andsound broadcasts as well as cable programmes, copyright will subsist for 50 years from the end of the calendar year in whichthe broadcast was made or the cable programme was first included in a cable programme service.

Conclusion

The University takes a serious view of any infringement of copyright by students and a contravention of the provisions of theCopyright Act is deemed to be a breach of the University’s rules and regulations, which could result in disciplinary action.

The University advises all students to respect the copyright of all copyright owners’ works and encourages the purchase oforiginal textbooks, CDs, DVDs and/or other copyrighted materials that are required for your courses of study. The cost of thesematerials is insignificant compared to the penalties for copyright infringement.

AUTHORISATION OF MEDICAL PROCEDURES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

In the course of their studies in the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), international students may need medical attentionthat requires surgery. For any surgery to be carried out on an international student below 21 years of age, surgeons or consultantsin hospitals in Singapore require a local guardian to be present at the hospital to give consent for surgery. In certain cases, astudent above 21 years of age may also be required to produce a local guardian to endorse the surgery.

In order to avoid possible delays to any medical procedure or surgery that an international student may need, the InternationalStudent Centre (ISC) requires a parent/guardian of each international student to provide the following:

(i) To appoint a guardian in Singapore (”Local Guardian”) who will have the authority to consent to the surgery, on behalf ofthe parent/guardian. This Local Guardian should be informed of his/her role by the parent/guardian(s) and should becontactable by the student and ISC at any time. Please complete the Appointment of Local Guardian Form (Annex N-2),if a local guardian is available.

AND

(ii) To authorise an NTU staff member to authorise or refuse consent for the surgery, on behalf of the parent(s), if neither aparent/guardian or a Local Guardian (if any) is contactable at the time of need. Please complete the Authorisation for NTUForm of Medical Procedures (Annex N-1). This authorisation is subject to the conditions:

(1) I will not hold the University, its officers, or any of its staff members responsible in any way, and that no action shall arisefrom any loss or damage (including, without limitation, personal injury or property damage) caused by or suffered asa result of right of the performance/non-performance of medical procedures or surgery on my child/ward.

(2) I will indemnify the University and keep the University indemnified against all losses, claims, demands, actions,proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and any other liability arising in any way from the performance/non-performanceof medical procedures or surgery on my child/ward.

Notwithstanding (1) and (2) above, NTU will make every reasonable effort to contact the parent/guardian(s) first if a studentneeds authorisation for a medical procedure or surgery. If the student or ISC is unable to contact the parent/guardian(s), ISCwill: contact the Local Guardian (if any); otherwise if the Local Guardian is not contactable, an NTU staff member will authoriseor refuse consent for the medical procedure or surgery.

It is important that all international students coming to NTU have the attached form duly executed by their parents/guardianbefore arriving in Singapore. Please bear in mind that this procedure is meant to avoid delay to any surgery that may berequired, and that reasonable effort will be made to contact their parent(s)/guardian before using the authorisations.
