Section 2648
The section does not require the provision or receipt of any economic or commercial advantage for copyright work. It was inserted to cater to the protection of copyright works on the Internet. The provision reflects that the Internet is a worldwide computer network using specialized network protocols to facilitate data transmission and exchange and that it has evolved so rapidly and drastically in the past quarter-century that the direction in which it will further develop is almost unpredictable. Thus, to make room for future technological advances, this section was drafted as broadly as possible. In particular, the expressions ‘making available ... to the public’, ‘by wire or wireless means’ and ‘members of the public ... may access the work from a place and at a time individually chosen by them’, which originated from art 8 of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Copyright Treaty 1996, were employed in the drafting of this section. Though the Treaty was not yet officially applicable to Hong Kong when S 26 was enacted, the incorporation of its provisions was considered to be consistent with Hong Kong’s continuing endeavour to adhere to the international standards for intellectual property protection. Membership of the Treaty was and is still confined to sovereign states. By virtue of China’s membership, the Treaty has become applicable to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region since 2008. In HKSAR v Chan Nai Ming [2005] 4 HKLRD, the court pointed out that Technology had developed to such an extent that prejudice to copyright owners where films were distributed in this fashion was manifest.48

Notes: This ordinance prevents infringement of copyright including via the internet. In HKSAR v Chan Nai Ming [2005] 4 HKLRD, the court pointed out that Technology had developed to such an extent that prejudice to copyright owners where films were distributed in this fashion was manifest. In Chan Nai Ming v HKSAR (2007) 10 HKCFAR 273 the court held that use of a physical storage device was not an essential condition for the transfer or “distribution” of an electronic copy under s.118(1)(f). There were no factual or legal reasons for “distribution” of electronic copies to be confined to the physical transfer of storage devices.
