Abstract

In 2012, Malaysia moved from a pure fair dealing system to a hybrid fair dealing and fair use system. The transition was made possible with the incorporation of section 13(2A) into the Copyright Act 1987. The section provided for the weighing of four fair use factors in considering whether a particular conduct amounts to a fair dealing under section 13(2)(a) and (b) of the Copyright Act 1987. In so doing, the four fair use factors played an instrumental role in defining the parameters of acceptable conduct as fair dealing.
