(2) Where, by virtue of subsection (1), copyright subsists under the Copyright Act 1911 in a computer program that was made before the commencement of this Act, nothing done in relation to the work before the commencement of this Act shall be taken to constitute an offence under the Copyright Act (Cap. 187) which is repealed by this Act or an infringement of that copyright.
(3) For the purposes of this section, a computer program the making of which extends over a period shall be deemed not to have been made before the commencement of this Act unless the making of it was completed before the commencement of this Act.
