2. Section 2 of the principal Act is amended by deleting the definition of “literary work” and substituting therefor the following—

“literary work” means any work, other than a dramatic or musical work, which is written, spoken or sung, and accordingly includes—

(a)

and for the purpose of paragraph (a) of this definition, “compilation” means a collection of works, data or other material, whether in machine-readable form or any other form, which constitutes an intellectual creation by reason of the selection or arrangement of the works, data or other material comprised in it;”.

3. Section 6 of the principal Act is amended by inserting next after subsection (3), the following as subsection (3A)—

“(3A) Copyright subsisting in a literary work that is a compilation does not extend to any works, data or other material comprised in the compilation and does not affect any copyright which may exist in such works, data or other material.”.

Insertion of New Section 136A in Principal Act

4. The principal Act is amended by inserting next after section 136, the following as section 136A—

“Unauthorized Decoders

136A.—(1) A person who—

(a)
makes or imports for commercial purposes;
(b)
sells or lets for hire;
(c)
offers or exposes for sale or hire; or

advertises for sale or hire,

any unauthorized decoder shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction in a Resident Magistrate’s Court to a fine not exceeding two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding twelve months or to both such fine and imprisonment.

(2) It is a defence to any prosecution for an offence under this section for the defendant to prove that he did not know, and had no reasonable ground for believing, that the decoder was an unauthorized decoder.

Insertion of New Sections 136B and 136C in Principal Act

5. The principal Act is amended by inserting in Part X, immediately before section 137, the following as sections 136B and 136C—

“Unauthorized Reception of Programmes: Rights and Remedies

136B.—(1) A person who—

(a)
makes charges for the reception of programmes included in a broadcasting or cable programme service provided from a place in Jamaica;
(b) sends encrypted transmissions of any other description from a place in Jamaica; or
(c)

has the rights and remedies specified in subsection (2).

(b)
are exercisable by a person referred to in subsection (1) against a person who—
(i)

(ii)
without lawful authority, receives or distributes programmes from an encrypted transmission for the purpose of distributing the programmes to other persons under commercial arrangements with them.
(3)
Subsection (3) of section 32 shall apply with necessary modifications in relation to proceedings for infringement of the rights conferred by this section, and accordingly the reference in that subsection to the defendant not knowing or having reason to believe that copyright subsisted in the work to which the action relates shall be construed as a reference to his not knowing or having reason to believe that his acts infringed the rights conferred by this section.
(4)
The person referred to in subsection (1) also has, in relation to any unauthorized decoder, the same rights as are exercisable by a copyright owner in relation to any infringing copy, under section 33 (delivery up of certain articles).
(5)
Section 137 applies with the necessary modifications, in relation to the disposal of anything delivered up or seized by virtue of subsection (4).

(2) The Minister may, having regard to the nature and extent of the lack of protection, by order designate the country concerned and may provide either generally or in relation to such classes of case as are specified in the order, that no protection shall be given under this Act to persons who make charges for programmes included in a broadcasting or cable programme service provided from that country or an encrypted transmission sent from that country, as the case may be.”.
