(b)a lawful use of the work;

and which has no independent economic significance.]

Textual Amendments

(3)Copying by a person other than the researcher or student himself is not fair dealing if—

(b)in any other case, the person doing the copying knows or has reason to believe that it will result in copies of substantially the same material being provided to more than one person at substantially the same time and for substantially the same purpose.
