“(4) For the purposes of this section, a communication work is made for reception— “(a) throughout New Zealand if it is communicated through­ out the majority of New Zealand, even if the commu­ nication work cannot be received in all parts of New Zealand: in an area if the communication work is made for re­ ception generally over an area, regardless of whether it can be received at all points in that area.” “(b) Clause 67 Subclause (3): to omit this subclause (lines 9 to 12 on page 44) and substitute the following subclause: 2 Proposed amendments to Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Bill SOP No 154 (3) Section 148(d) is amended by repealing subparagraphs (iii) and (iv) and substituting the following subparagraphs: “(iii) recording in the circumstances set out in sections “(iv) 48(1) and 91(2); or the reception and immediate recommunication of a communication work and any work in that communication work;—”.

“(3) For the purposes of this section, a communication work is made for reception— “(a) throughout New Zealand if it is communicated through­ out the majority of New Zealand, even if the commu­ nication work cannot be received in all parts of New Zealand; 3 SOP No 154 Proposed amendments to Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Bill “(b) in an area if the communication work is made for re­ ception generally over an area, regardless of whether it can be received at all points in that area.” Explanatory note This Supplementary Order Paper replaces Supplementary Order Paper No 143, and amends the Copyright Act 1994 to replace section 88 of that Act with a new provision that permits the recommunication of free­to­air television broad­ casts and other kinds of unencrypted communication works by means other than only cable programmes.
This would include satellite recommunication.

At pre­ sent section 88 permits only the cable recommunication of free­to­air television broadcasts, principally to enable reception of such broadcasts in poor coverage or signal areas.

There is no good reason for section 88 to be limited in this way.

The Supplementary Order Paper also makes consequential amendments to sec­ tions 148 and 189 of the Copyright Act.
The expansion of section 88, particularly to satellite communications, is— • consistent with the Government’s aim of encouraging the uptake of digital television.
It will facilitate the recommunication of free­to­air television on digital satellite and by other means; consistent with the Government’s aim of making publicly funded pro­ grammes, shown on free­to­air television channels, as widely available as possible; consistent with the aim of improving the coverage of free­to­air television as digital satellite recommunications in particular are able to reach into areas where traditional terrestrial communication is very difﬁcult.
The existing provision for copyright holders to establish licensing schemes for recommunication will be retained.
