摘要：The rise of digital photography and videography has made the creation, sharingand commercialisation of high-quality photographs and videos more accessible, interms of both cost and skills required. This thematic report examines the impact oncopyright infringement of the increase in photographs and videos containing publicart. It then analyses the applicability, for such photographs and videos, of the generalexceptions for protection of artistic works in South Africa’s Copyright Act 98 of1978. The author argues that the Act’s general exceptions are too ambiguous, and inat least one important case too narrow, and thus insufficient to cater to the currentdigital environment. Accordingly, the author proposes the introduction of broadenedand clarified copyright exceptions that include fairness requirements.
