Abstract

The rapid development of ICT and global information networks gives developing countries, such as South Africa and China, unprecedented opportunities to provide quality education and research to their people. Copyright law plays an important role in regulating materials, used for education and research, which are subject to copyright protection. In order to avoid an overprotective copyright regime curtailing research and development, copyright law needs to maintain a dynamic balance among authors, derivative copyright proprietors and users to ensure that it nevertheless promotes societal access to knowledge.
