This Order extends the provisions of the Copyright Act 1956 with certain exceptions and modifications to form part of the law of the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The Order also extends two Orders in Council made under Part V of that Act. The extension of these Orders will give protection in the Territory to works produced by certain international organisations and to lawfully authorised broadcasts originating in other Commonwealth countries to which the 1956 Act has already been extended. Broadcasts by organisations in the Territory will also have protection in the Territory and in those countries by virtue of this Order.
The copyright protection given by the law of the Territory will be similar to that given by the law of the United Kingdom.
