Can a government put text and graphics from a journal article onto a website?
15.6.2008

Yes, if it is for the purposes of the government. It is likely that this use will involve both reproduction and communication of the material. The reproduction of the text and graphics will be covered by the declaration of Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) as the collecting society for government copies. It will, however, be necessary to notify each relevant copyright owner in relation to the communication, and they may require remuneration.
