ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 10th day of January, 1921.

Present :

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by reason of conditions arising out of the war difficulties have been experienced by citizens of the United States of America in complying with the requirements of the Copyright Act, 1913, as to the first publication within New Zealand of their works first published in the United States of America during the war :

And whereas the Governor-General is advised that the Government of the United States of America has undertaken upon issue of this Order to extend the protection afforded by the United States Law of the eighteenth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, entitled “An Act to amend Sections eight and twenty-one of the Copyright Act, approved March 4, 1909,” to British subjects in New Zealand :

And whereas by reason of the said undertaking of the Government of the United States of America the Governor-General is satisfied that the said Government has made, or has undertaken to make, such provision as it is expedient to require for the protection of works first made or published in New Zealand, between the first day of August, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and the termination of the war and entitled to copyright under Part I of the Copyright Act, 1913 :

And whereas by the Copyright Act, 1913, authority is conferred upon the Governor-General to extend by Order in Council the protection of the said Act to certain classes of foreign works within New Zealand :

And whereas by reason of these premises it is desirable to provide protection within New Zealand for literary or artistic works first published in the United States of America between the first day of August, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and the termination of the war which have failed to accomplish the formalities prescribed by the Copyright Act, 1913, by reason of conditions arising out of the war :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, and in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by the Copyright Act, 1913, doth hereby direct as follows :—

1. The Copyright Act, 1913, shall, subject to the provisions of the said Act and this Order, apply to works first published in the United States of America between the first day of August, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and the termination of the war, which have not been republished in New Zealand prior to the commencement of this Order in like manner as if they had been first published in New Zealand; provided that the enjoyment by any work of the rights conferred by the Copyright Act, 1913, shall be conditional upon publication of the work in New Zealand not later than six months after the commencement of this Order, and shall commence from and after such publication, which shall not be colourable only, but shall be intended to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the public.

2. The provision of section fifty-two of the Copyright Act, 1913, as to the delivery of books to the General Assembly Library shall apply to works to which this Order relates upon their publication in New Zealand.

3. In the case of musical works to which this Order relates, and provided that no contrivances by means of which the work may be mechanically performed have before the commencement of this Order been lawfully made or placed on sale within New Zealand, copyright in the work shall include all rights conferred by the said Act with respect to the making of records, perforated rolls, and other contrivances by means of which the work may be mechanically performed.

4. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as depriving any work of any rights which have been lawfully acquired under the provisions of the Copyright Act, 1913, or any Order in Council thereunder.

5. This Order shall come into operation on the twentieth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, which date is in this Order referred to as the commencement of this Order.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
