Overview: This article presents information on a recent Australian Federal Court decision, which sheds light on the nature of copyright in television broadcasts, and on the issue of substantiality in this context. The decision also discusses the application of the fair dealing defenses of criticism and review and of reporting the news when one television station re-broadcasts material broadcast by another station.
