The Copyright Act 1994 was last updated in 2008 with the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act, which made a number of changes to update it for digital technologies.

The LIANZA Standing Committee on Copyright (LSCC) will be preparing a submission on behalf of LIANZA, but encourages libraries to make their own submissions. To support libraries the LSCC will be presenting a series of three webinars. The first webinar will provide an introduction to copyright, the New Zealand Copyright Act and the exceptions in the Act for libraries. The second webinar will discuss fair use vs fair dealing and safe harbours for GLAMs. This will be presented by Professor Graeme Austin from the Faculty of Law at Victoria University of Wellington. The third webinar will focus on mass digitization and the issue of orphan works.
