Screenrights Agreement
Best Practice Guidelines 
University of Western Australia
These Guidelines have been adopted by the University of Western Australia, in accordance with clause 3.4 of the 2019-2022 Remuneration Agreement between Screenrights, Universities Australia and the Universities.  They are adapted from a document prepared by Universities Australia.  

Using copies of broadcasts 
The statutory licence allows universities to copy and communicate, solely for the educational purposes of the university (or another university with a remuneration notice in place):
a.	broadcasts – (both radio and television); and
b.	the content of a broadcast that has been made available online by the broadcaster at the same time, or at substantially the same time, as the broadcast (e.g. content on SBS OnDemand, or ABC iView). 
Copies of broadcasts made in reliance on the Statutory Licence must only be used for educational purposes. They must not be made available to students, or by students, for any other purpose (e.g. entertainment). This limitation applies to copies made by Resource Centres (on behalf of the university) as well as to copies made by the university itself. 

Marking requirements
Copies
Pursuant to clause 3.4(a) of the Remuneration Agreement, universities are required to mark all copies of broadcasts in analogue form, or on removable media (e.g. DVD, CD, USB), made in reliance on the Statutory Licence, with a notice containing the following information:

This program has been copied under the Statutory Licence pursuant to s113P of the Copyright Act 1968 for the educational purposes of the University.

This notice should be attached to the container in which the copy is kept (e.g. DVD/CD case, USB etc). 

Communications
Pursuant to clause 3.4(b) of the Remuneration Agreement, universities are required to include a notice to the following effect on all communications of broadcasts made in reliance on the statutory licence: 
This program has been communicated under the Statutory Licence pursuant to s113P of the Copyright Act 1968 for the educational purposes of the University.

This notice should be visible to any staff member or student accessing the content at some point during their ‘access journey’.
