Revised legislation carried on this site may not be fully up to date. At the current time any known changes or effects made by subsequent legislation have been applied to the text of the legislation you are viewing by the editorial team. Please see ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ for details regarding the timescales for which new effects are identified and recorded on this site.
(1)The copying of extracts of a relevant work by or on behalf of an educational establishment does not infringe copyright in the work, provided that—
(a)the copy is made for the purposes of instruction for a non-commercial purpose, and
(b)the copy is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement (unless this would be impossible for reasons of practicality or otherwise).
(2)Copyright is not infringed where a copy of an extract made under subsection (1) is communicated by or on behalf of the educational establishment to its pupils or staff for the purposes of instruction for a non-commercial purpose.
(3)Subsection (2) only applies to a communication received outside the premises of the establishment if that communication is made by means of a secure electronic network accessible only by the establishment’s pupils and staff.
(4)In this section “relevant work” means a copyright work other than—
(a)a broadcast, or
(b)an artistic work which is not incorporated into another work.
(5)Not more than 5% of a work may be copied under this section by or on behalf of an educational establishment in any period of 12 months, and for these purposes a work which incorporates another work is to be treated as a single work.
(6)Acts which would otherwise be permitted by this section are not permitted if, or to the extent that, licences are available authorising the acts in question and the educational establishment responsible for those acts knew or ought to have been aware of that fact.
(7)The terms of a licence granted to an educational establishment authorising acts permitted by this section are of no effect so far as they purport to restrict the proportion of a work which may be copied (whether on payment or free of charge) to less than that which would be permitted by this section.
(8)If a copy made under this section is subsequently dealt with—
(a)it is to be treated as an infringing copy for the purposes of that dealing, and
(b)if that dealing infringes copyright, it is to be treated as an infringing copy for all subsequent purposes.
(9)In this section “dealt with” means—
(a)sold or let for hire,
(b)offered or exposed for sale or hire, or
(c)communicated otherwise than as permitted by subsection (2).]
