An analysis of the intepretation and application of the Copyright Act at the Tshwane University of Technology

M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School / The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is established in terms of the Higher Education Act, 1997 (Act No. 101 of 1997). The institution offers higher education learning and makes use of study material and other sources that are in most instances copyrighted, for example text books, journals etc. Questions that are often asked by lecturing staff are: Who is the copyright owner of the study material? How much of a textbook may be duplicated? How many copies of the works may be made? May I duplicate study material for students etc.? These questions are often difficult to answer because of the complexity of the Copyright Act, the fact that the Act was promulgated in 1978 and the limited availability of case law which interprets the provisions of the Copyright Act.
