Can’t I legally copy 10% without it being infringement?

If your organisation holds a CLNZ licence, then you can copy up to 10% provided that you comply with the other terms of the licence.

However, there is no general permission nor special threshold; if a fair dealing exception does not apply then any unauthorised use of the copyright work can potentially lead to legal action.
