Instruction
Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work is not infringed by its being copied in the course of instruction or of preparation for instruction, provided the copying:
  • Is done by a person giving or receiving instruction
  • Is not by means of a reprographic process (e.g. photocopying, digitisation)
  • Is accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement, i.e. bibliographical details,
and provided that the instruction is for a non-commercial purpose. 
This defence to infringement is available for copies made by hand of, say, an artistic work. 
Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work which has been made available to the public is not infringed by its being copied in the course of instruction or of preparation for instruction, provided the copying:

  • Is not done by means of a reprographic process
  • Is accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement. 
Note that licence conditions in e-journals may apply.
