Partial Draft Amendments to the Copyright Act Passes Third Reading at Legislative Yuan to Meet Distance Learning Needs - 2022.07.13

In response to current technological developments, educational policies, and pandemic measures, the Legislative Yuan passed partial draft amendments to the Copyright Act by a third reading on May 27. The amendments target aspects of distance learning as an extension of the classroom, such as the rules for fair use of copyrighted works, allowing teachers to provide classroom instruction without worry. In accordance with digital education policies, the amendments also allow textbook preparers to transmit digital copies to teachers and students to promote the use of e-schoolbags and alleviate the burden of heavy backpacks for students. Additionally, to facilitate the cultural development of Taiwan, the amendments also enable the National Central Library (NCL) to digitally reproduce its collection, under certain conditions, for readers to access online within the library.
