Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is false. The "fair dealing" provisions allow for limited copying for specific purposes such as research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, and parody/satire, but the copying must be done under certain conditions and must not interfere with the normal exploitation of the work. Simply copying material from a website without permission or without falling under one of these specified purposes would likely be considered copyright infringement.
