SG Ministry of Law proposes revision to Copyright Act for creators with new bill Details 09 July 2021 The Ministry of Law has proposed a repeal of the current Copyright Act with the new Copyright Bill to strengthen the copyright laws in Singapore in an attempt to "stay abreast of changes in how content is created, distributed, and used”. It seeks to make the law more accessible by simplifying the language and key features of the new bill include introducing new rights and remedies for creators, as well as creating new exceptions to copyright owners’ rights (known as permitted uses). This is to ensure that copyright continues to reward the creation of works and incentivise creativity and that copyright works are reasonably available for the benefit of society and to support innovation respectively, said the Ministry in a press release statement on its website.
