On Sunday, November 21, amendments to the Singapore Copyright Act officially became effective in that country. New amendments to the law create a default presumption that copyright to contracted works belong to the creator, unless the contract explicitly assigns those rights to the hiring party, and notice requirements mandating that those making a public use of a creator’s or performer’s work provide notice to the creator or performer of that use. A new right has been identified to require users to ensure that when materials are used in public, including when they are distributed on online, the creator or performer is acknowledged. This will help individual creators and performers build their reputation.
