What copyright protection applies in the UKs dependent territories?

Current UK law, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (the CDPA), only applies in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It has not been extended to any UK dependent territories. However, earlier UK copyright law was extended to the dependent territories, but the version of the law that applies or applied there is not always the same. Some UK dependent territories have, or are actively considering, introducing their own copyright laws and you should refer to the administrations in the territories for the latest position.
