Section 108 — Nature of copyright

(1)Where a copyright owner has the exclusive right to do an act —

(a)the right is a right to exclude others from doing that act (or authorising the doing of that act) without the authorisation of the copyright owner; and

(b)it is declared that the right is not a positive right of the copyright owner to do that act.

(2)To avoid doubt, where a copyright owner has the right to be paid equitable remuneration for the doing of an act, the right is not a positive right of the copyright owner to do that act.
