WARNING 
A copyright owner is entitled to take legal action against a person who infringes his copyright 
Unless otherwise permitted by the Copyright Act 1968, unauthorized copying of a work in which 
copyright subsists may infringe the copyright in that work. 
Where making a copy of a work is a fair dealing under section 40 of the Copyright Act 1968, 
making that copy is not an infringement of the copyright in the work. 
It is a fair dealing to make a copy, for the purpose of research or study, of one or more articles 
on the same subject matter in a periodical publication or, in the case of any other work, of a 
reasonable portion of a work. In the case a published work that is of not less than 10 pages and is 
not an artistic work, 10% of the total number of pages, or one chapter, is a reasonable portion. 
More extensive copying may constiMe fair dealing for the purpose of research or study. To 
determine whether it does, it is necessary to have regard to the criteria set out in sub-section 40 (2) 
of the Copyright Act 1968.
