Is copying one article from a newspaper
not covered by fair dealing under terms of copyright act?
Incidently our head of communications –
who has been advised by SHA that they don’t need a licence from NLA told me
that an NHS trust somewhere was going to court over NLA right to issue licences
and demand money, interesting if it is true.

The Times allows
you to download items free for 7 days. After that you have to pay
and this
article is I think commentary on a new ESRC report "Seven deadly
sins" that came out the day before
Might
the problem be solved by asking the enquirer if they'd prefer to see the
original report which is on their website ?
Doesn't change
the need to clarify the situation as per Richards question
though ...........

Subject: Newpaper copyright
Following hot on
the heels of Diane's summary yesterday regarding the NHS copyright licence not
covering newspapers, I have just been asked by a PCT employee to get hold
of an article from The Times. Does this mean that I am not legally allowed
to ask any institution that may have a copy of that paper to send me a
photocopy or scanned image? Although I haven't yet checked whether my own
organisation has a separate licence to cover newspapers, I think it unlilely
that anyone within it would have the relevant edition anyway. Looking at the
Times Online I see we would have to pay £10 to acquire a single article!
For clarity, if
an external organisation were to have the relevant edition to hand, and a
licence to photocopy articles from it, would I be legally allowed to request
and receive a copy?
In case it's of
use, the article I've been asked to acquire is "Society's New Seven Deadly
Sins", which apparently appeared in The Times on June 18th this year.
Many thanks in
advance for any advice.
