 recognized categories of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, as well as sound recordings, films, broadcasts and cable
programs, and typographical arrangement of published editions. Certain acts such as copying and/or issuing or making available copies
to the public of a copyright work without the authorization from the copyright owner would constitute “primary infringement”
of copyright which does not require knowledge of infringement.

In addition, a person
may incur civil liability for “secondary infringement” under the Copyright Ordinance if that person possess, sells, lets
for hire, distributes or deals with a copy of a work which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe to be, an infringing copy
of the work for the purposes of or in the course of any trade or business without the consent of the copyright owner. However, the person
will only be liable if, at the time he committed the act, he knew or had reason to believe that he was dealing with infringing copies.

Under section 118
of the Copyright Ordinance, a person commits a criminal offence if he, without the consent of the copyright owner of a copyright work,
makes for sale or hire an infringing copy of the work or possess an infringing copy of the work with a view to its being, among others,
sold or let for hire by any person for the purpose of or in the course of that trade or business.

the purpose of or in the course of a copying service business, possess a reprographic copy of a copyright work as published in a book,
magazine or periodical, being a copy that is an infringing copy of the copyright work. It is a defense for the person charged to prove
that he did not know and had no reason to believe that the copy of a copyright work in question was an infringing copy of the copyright
law.
