Week 8 reading review – Hong Kong’s Amended Copyright Law

After reading this leaflet, I have a clear understanding about the Copyright Law. Before reading, I am query about the copying of those newspapers or pictures which are for teaching and learning purposes because schools need a lot of copying. How can school manage this? I wonder the example it sated watching DVDs after exam in a classroom would not be considered ‘fair’. It is because there are a lot of teachers would play movies after exam to students in a classroom for entertainment only. So, that means they have already broken the law. In conclusion, I think teachers and students do the things with educational purposes is the most important one. I agree that students need to know this Law comprehensively.
