What are the benefits of copyright and Section 35?
Copyright law provides authors and performers with a way of earning a living through the use of their creativity; it also enables broadcasters, producers and publishers to secure fair reward for their investment in that creativity. While copyright law protects the interests of copyright owners, it also balances this with the needs of users. Section 35 of the Act achieves that balance by encouraging copyright owners to come together to offer a convenient and cost-effective licence, in this case for educational users.
