Amendments to Copyright Legislation Section 136
The new Section 136(3A) provides criminal penalties for wilful copyright infringement, in the case where the extent of infringement is significant,
and/or where the person does the act to obtain a commercial advantage. For the first case, the new Section lists factors to assist the Court in
determining if the extent of an infringement is significant – these include the volume of articles that are infringing copies, the value of these
infringing copies, and whether the infringement has a substantial prejudicial impact on the copyright owner. For the second case, new section 136(6B)
defines the element of commercial advantage. Since in either case, a significant infringement, or an infringement linked to a business or trade is
involved, and both the extent of harm and the degree of culpability are sizeable, such infringements will attract criminal penalties.
