Fair Dealing

Certain exceptions only apply if the use of the work is a ‘fair dealing’. For example, the exceptions relating to research and private study, criticism or review, or news reporting.
‘Fair dealing’ is a legal term used to establish whether a use of copyright material is lawful or whether it infringes copyright. There is no statutory definition of fair dealing - it will always be a matter of fact, degree and impression in each case. The question to be asked is: how would a fair-minded and honest person have dealt with the work?
Factors that have been identified by the courts as relevant in determining whether a particular dealing with a work is fair include:
* does using the work affect the market for the original work? If a use of a work acts as a substitute for it, causing the owner to lose revenue, then it is not likely to be fair
* is the amount of the work taken reasonable and appropriate? Was it necessary to use the amount that was taken? Usually only part of a work may be used
The relative importance of any one factor will vary according to the case in hand and the type of dealing in question.

The concept of fair usage exists within UK copyright law; commonly referred to as fair dealing, or free use and fair practice. It’s a framework designed to allow the lawful use or reproduction of work without having to seek permission from the copyright owner(s) or creator(s) or infringing their interest.
Fair dealing law is not only applicable to text-based works; it applies to musical, dramatic, artistic, literary and typographical works too. However, it does not cover the copyright of printed music.
As an exception to British copyright law, fair dealing is governed by Sections 29 and 30 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, which outlines three instance where fair dealing is a legitimate defence:
* If the use is for the purposes of research or private study;
* If it is used for the purposes of criticism, review or quotation;
* Where it is utilised for the purposes of reporting current events (this does not apply to photographs)
A statutory definition for fair dealing does not exist; it will always be a matter of fact, degree and interpretation in every fair dealing case. Nor is there a percentage or quantitative measure to determine fair dealing. The Intellectual Property Office lists the key factors used to determine the validity of whether a particular dealing with a work is fair as follows:
* Has the use of the work impacted negatively on the market for the original work? If the creator or owner has lost potential revenue through the re-use of their work, it is not likely to be fair.
* Was it reasonable and necessary to use the amount of work that was taken?
The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 also outlines the potential fair dealing defences that permit the use of copyright works without permission from the author(s) or creator(s) under UK copyright law.

THANK YOU!

The 80s had such wide range of music, it was an awesome time to be a teenager.

[thomHD]

The amount of incredible music to come out of the UK, especially in that period from about 1963-99, is just remarkable.

[AbhilashGregory]

Thank God for the 1980s music!
Listening as a wonderful medicine in dark times!
Thank you for the wonderful compilation!

[rupertschwarz]

Everytime I listen to 80ties song I simply must appriciate the wide, wide rage of songs and styles. Never a dull moment. The next song is always very different.

[sandradowling-horgan]

As an Aussie teenager all through the 80s, I really enjoyed the clips.. Most of the songs I remember, but some I had forgotten about. Good memories, from simpler times. Thanks 😊

I can therefore conclude that British taste of music is better than American's. It's diverse and representative.

This is the soundtrack of my teens. Thanks for the memories it brought back, wonderful music, especially 1981 -1985.

[sophiegeorge]

I was born in 77 so enjoyed listening to these and the memories they brought back

[LisaCurnow-ro]

What a great decade the 80's was. I'd almost forgotten some of those songs

[scottyk]

Brilliant effort putting all this together.

[davidthomas]

The 80s started out with Dexys Midnight Runners, The Jam, and The Police but finished with Bros, Jason Donovan, and Jive Bunny. It was a great decade overall but I think a little bit of rot set in during the 1980s

[igblocks]

ABBA, George Michael, Rick Astley, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Kylie Minogue Is The Best!! So Great Songs!!

[stevehensonuk]

The late 80s have a lot to answer for, the early 80s though? Fantastic

[mediamike]

YES MUSICLLY 🎵🎸🎶+++1980-81 HAD IT+++🤩🤣🤩+++LOVED IT+++🎶🎺🥁+++ROCK ON+++

[gnu_andrew]

The most interesting thing about this chart is it's as much a story of what was happening in the 80s as it is just about the songs. You can see from the #1s when John Lennon died, when the Hillsborough disaster was, or when certain films were out.

I'm not sure that happens as much these days. The charts of the 2010s seem to have been completely immune to what's been going on in the country over the past decade or so.

[SuperJNG]

It's funny seeing "Pass the Dutchie" and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" back to back, two Caribbean-influenced songs that just so happen to feature their singers on trial in their music videos.
