41.—(1) A “copy” of an authorial work is a reproduction of the work in any material form. (2) Without limiting subsection (1), an authorial work is reproduced in a material form if —(a) it is stored —(i) in a computer; (ii) on any medium by electronic means; or (iii) on any other medium from which the work, or a substantial part thereof, can be directly reproduced; (b) it is reproduced in the form of a film; (c) in the case of a literary, dramatic or musical work — it is reproduced in the form of a sound recording; (d) in the case of an artistic work in a 2‑dimensional form — a version of the work in a 3‑dimensional form is produced; (e) in the case of an artistic work in a 3‑dimensional form — a version of the work in a 2‑dimensional form is produced; or (f) it is converted into or from a digital or other electronic machine‑readable form (whether from or into a copy in the form of a film or sound recording, or otherwise). (3) To avoid doubt, this section applies in relation to an adaptation of a literary, dramatic or musical work as it applies in relation to an authorial work.
