What is the status of commercial PTEs under the Copyright Act?
The fair dealing exception for education does not apply to commercial organisations, including commercial PTEs. This is because the definition of “education establishment” in the Copyright Act specifically excludes organisations conducted for profit. It follows that the 3% allowance in the exception is not available for commercial PTEs.
