Multiple copying of insubstantial portions of works
51.
—(1)  Subject to this section, copyright in a literary or dramatic work is not infringed by the making, on the premises of an educational institution, by any person, for the purposes of a course of education provided by the institution, of a copy or copies of a page or pages of the work in an edition of the work, or of works that include the work.
(2)  Subsection (1) shall not apply to —
(a)
the making of a copy or copies of the whole of a work; or
(b)
the making of a copy or copies of more than 5 of the pages of a work in an edition of the work, or of works that include the work, unless —
(i)
one per cent of the total number of pages in the edition exceeds 5 pages; and
(ii)
the total number of pages so copied does not exceed 5 per cent of the total number of pages in the edition.
(3)  Where a person has made or caused to be made on an occasion a copy of a part of a work contained on a page or pages in an edition of the work, or of works that include the work, in reliance on this section, subsection (1) shall not apply to the making, by or on behalf of that person, on a subsequent occasion less than 14 days after the day on which the previous copying took place, of a copy of any other part of that work.
Multiple copying under statutory licence by educational institutions
52.
—(1)  Subject to this section, the copyright in an article contained in a periodical publication is not infringed by the making of copies of the whole or a part of that article, by or on behalf of the body administering an educational institution for the teaching purposes of that or another educational institution.
(2)  Subject to this section, the copyright in a work, other than an article in a periodical publication, is not infringed by the making of copies of the whole or a part of that work, by or on behalf of the body administering an educational institution for the teaching purposes of that or another educational institution.
(3)  Without limiting the generality of subsection (1) or (2), a copy of a work shall be taken to have been made for the teaching purposes of an institution if —
(a)
it is made in connection with a particular course of instruction provided by that institution; or
(b)
it is made for the purpose of inclusion in the collection of a library of that institution.
(4)  Subsection (1) shall not apply in relation to copies of, or of parts of, two or more articles contained in the same periodical publication unless the articles relate to the same subject-matter.
(5)  Subsection (2) shall not apply in relation to copies of, or of more than a reasonable portion of, a work that has been separately published unless the person who makes the copies, or causes the copies to be made, for or on behalf of the body administering the educational institution, is satisfied, after reasonable investigation, that copies (not being second-hand copies) of the work cannot be obtained within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.
(6)  Subsection (1) shall not apply to copies of the whole or a part of an article contained in a periodical publication, being copies made, by or on behalf of the body administering an educational institution, for the teaching purposes of an educational institution, unless there is made, by or on behalf of that body, as soon as practicable after the making of those copies, a record of the copying setting out such particulars as may be prescribed by the regulations.
(7)  Subsection (2) shall not apply to copies of the whole or a part of a work (not being an article contained in a periodical publication), being copies made, by or on behalf of the body administering an educational institution, for the teaching purposes of an educational institution, unless there is made, by or on behalf of that body, as soon as practicable after the making of those copies, a record of the copying setting out such particulars as may be prescribed by the regulations.
(8)  For the purposes of subsections (6) and (7) a record of the copying of a work or a part of a work —
(a)
shall be kept in writing or in any other manner prescribed by the regulations; and
(b)
if it is kept in writing, shall be in accordance with the prescribed form.
(9)  Where copies of, or of part of, a work, other than an article in a periodical publication, made as provided in subsection (2) by or on behalf of an educational institution for the teaching purposes of an educational institution —
(a)
are made for distribution to persons undertaking a correspondence course, or an external study course, provided by the educational institution for the teaching purposes of which those copies are made, otherwise than as a part of the lecture notes prepared in connection with that course; and
(b)
do not contain more than a reasonable portion of the work,
the record made in relation to them in accordance with subsection (7) may state that they are copies to which this subsection applies.
(10)  Where copies of, or of part of, a work consisting of an article in a periodical publication made, as provided in subsection (1), by or on behalf of the body administering an educational institution for the teaching purposes of an educational institution are made for distribution to persons undertaking a correspondence course, or an external study course, provided by the educational institution for the teaching purposes of which those copies are made, otherwise than as a part of the lecture notes prepared in connection with that course, the record made in relation to them in accordance with subsection (6) may state that they are copies to which this subsection applies.
(11)  Where copies of the whole or a part of a work, not being copies stated in the record to be copies to which subsection (9) or (10) applies, are made by or on behalf of the body administering an educational institution and, by virtue of this section, the making of those copies does not infringe copyright in the work, that body shall, if the owner of the copyright in the work makes a request, in writing, at any time during the prescribed period after the making of the copies, for payment for the making of the copies, pay to the owner such an amount by way of equitable remuneration for the making of those copies as is agreed upon between the owner and the body or, in default of agreement, as is determined by the Copyright Tribunal on the application of either the owner or the body.
(12)  Where the Copyright Tribunal has determined the amount of equitable remuneration payable to the owner of copyright in a work by the body administering an educational institution in relation to copies of the whole or a part of that work that have been made by or on behalf of that body in reliance on this section, the owner may recover that amount from the body in a court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to him.
(13)  Nothing in this section shall affect the right of the owner of copyright in a work to grant a licence authorising the body administering an educational institution to make, or cause to be made, copies of the whole or a part of the work without infringement of that copyright.
Application of Division to illustrations accompanying articles and other works
