	Philippine copyright law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The law is partly based on United States copyright law and the principles of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.
		Copyright implementation is done with the coordination of the IPO and the Copyright Division of the National Library of the Philippines.
		Copyright holders are not allowed to be forced to create or publish his or her works already published, as that could be classified as a breach of contract.

	Copyright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Copyright concepts are under challenge in the modern era, primarily from the increasing use of peer to peer filesharing.
		Another point of distinction is that a copyright (and a patent) is generally subject to a statutorily-determined term, whereas a trademark registration may remain in force indefinitely if the trademark is periodically used and renewal fees continue to be duly paid to the relevant jurisdiction's trade marks office or registry.
		Once the term of a copyright has expired, the formerly copyrighted work enters the public domain and may be freely used or exploited by anyone, as courts in the United States and the United Kingdom have rejected the doctrine of a common law copyright.

	Fair use - தமிழ் விக்கிபீடியா (Tamil Wikipedia)
		In the context of United States copyright law, the doctrine provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test.
		Philippine copyright law has a fair use doctrine based largely, or even exactly, on the doctrine adopted in the United States.
		Producers or creators of parodies of a copyrighted work have been sued for infringement by the targets of their ridicule, even though such use may be protected as fair use.

		The fair use doctrine is an aspect of United States copyright law that provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test.
		Although the Supreme Court has ruled that the availability of copyright protection should not depend on the artistic quality or merit of the work at issue, fair use analyses nevertheless consider certain aspects of the copied work, such as whether it is fictional or non-fictional, to be germane.
		Yet their copyright was not upheld, in the name of the public interest, when they tried to enjoin the reproduction of stills from the film in a history book on the subject (see Time Inc. v.

		No person may be elected President unless he is a natural-born citizen of the Philippines, a registered voter, able to read and write, at least forty years of age on the day of the election, and a resident of the Philippines for at least ten years immediately preceding such election.
		The Congress may, by law, vest the appointment of other officers lower in rank in the President alone, in the courts, or in the heads of departments, agencies, commissions, or boards.

	A SURVEY OF PHILIPPINE COPYRIGHT CASES
		Under the old law, it is required that the first publication of an article should contain a notice of copyright, if copyright is already acquired prior to publication, or a notice that publication of the same is reserved.
		In the later Columbia Pictures case, it was held that the presentation of the master tapes of the copyrighted films should, at most, be understood to merely serve as a guidepost in determining the existence of probable cause in copyright cases.
		Copyright does not extend to an idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is embodied.

	Philippine prosecutor pans new law
		A PHILIPPINES LAW that was recently passed is not specific enough to punish future computer hackers like the creator of the disastrous "I Love You" computer virus, the country's chief prosecutor said Wednesday.
