What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Section 29A of the United Kingdom's Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, inserted in the United Kingdom on 1 June 2014 and not among the provisions the Copyright (Cayman Islands) Order 2015's Schedule excludes or modifies, extends to the Cayman Islands as part of Part 1's general extension.
It permits a person with lawful access to a work to make a copy for the sole purpose of a non-commercial-research computational analysis of anything recorded in the work, with a sufficient acknowledgement, but the copy may not be transferred to anyone else or used for any other purpose without the copyright owner's authorisation, and any subsequent dealing with it is treated as an infringing copy. A contract term purporting to prevent or restrict the making of such a copy is unenforceable.
