Tuvalu

Section 33 makes it an offence for any person to, among other things, dishonestly obtain a telecommunication service to avoid payment; send a message that is grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, or menacing, or a message known to be false and sent to cause annoyance, inconvenience, or needless anxiety; intentionally modify, intercept, or disclose the content of a message; damage, remove, or interfere with telecommunication apparatus or a telecommunication line; or assist the working of an unlicensed telecommunication system, or otherwise contravene the Corporation's sole and exclusive right under section 6 to supply telecommunication services in Tuvalu.

Section 34 lets the convicting court additionally order the offender to pay compensation for any damage done. Section 35 repeals the earlier Telecommunications Ordinance (Chapter 100), under which the same conduct was addressed in narrower terms.

Section 2(1) makes it an offence for any person knowingly to make for sale or hire, sell, distribute, publicly exhibit, or import an infringing copy of a work in which copyright subsists, punishable by a fine of $4 per infringing copy dealt with, capped at $100 for the same transaction, or on a second or subsequent offence either that fine or imprisonment for two months.

Section 2(2) separately makes it an offence to knowingly make or possess a plate for producing infringing copies, or to cause a copyrighted work to be publicly performed for private profit without the owner's consent, punishable by a fine of $100 or, on a second offence, that fine or imprisonment for two months. Section 3 applies section 22 of the United Kingdom's Copyright Act 1956, restricting the importation of infringing printed copies, to importation into Tuvalu.

The Ordinance's own text provides no exception for quotation, fair dealing, or text-and-data-mining; the substantive scope of what is copyrightable rests on the extended United Kingdom Copyright Act 1911 that the Ordinance continues, which has not been located.
