Protection of rights management information

(1) Information from rightholders for the management of rights (rights management information) may not be removed or altered if any of the information concerned is affixed to a copy of a work or of other protected subject matter or in the context of communication to the public of such a work or protected subject matter is published and if removal or alteration has been knowingly undertaken without authorisation, and those acting know or must have reasonable grounds to know that by doing so they are inducing, enabling, facilitating or concealing an infringement of copyright or related rights.

(2) For the purposes of this Act, ʻrights management informationʼ means electronic information which identifies the works or other protected subject matter, the author or any other rightholder, information on the terms and conditions relating to the use of the works or protected subject matter, and any numbers and codes which represent such information.

(3) Works or other protected subject matter from which rights management information has been removed or altered without authorisation may not be knowingly distributed, imported for distribution, broadcast, communicated to the public or made available to the public without authorisation if the person knows or must have reasonable grounds to know that they have induced, enabled, facilitated or concealed an infringement of copyright or related rights.
