construed as including a disposition of the copyright in the work in so far as the testator was
the owner of the copyright immediately before his or her death or, if at the testator's death no
copyright subsisted in the work, a disposition of any future copyright in that work.
(7) A licence granted in respect of any copyright by the person who, in relation to the matters
to which the licence relates, is the owner of the copyright, shall be binding upon every
successor in title to his or her interest in the copyright, except a purchaser in good faith and
without notice, whether actual or constructive, of the licence or a person deriving title from
such a purchaser, and any reference in this Act to the doing in relation to copyright of
anything with or without the licence of the owner of the copyright shall be construed
accordingly.
(8) Where, in accordance with the terms of a licence, the doing of anything is authorised by
the grantee of such licence or a person deriving title from the grantee, anything which is done
under such authorisation shall for the purpose of this Act be deemed to have been done with
the licence of the grantor and of every person, if any, upon whom the licence is binding.
CHAPTER 2
INFRINGEMENTS OF COPYRIGHT AND REMEDIES
29 Infringement
(1) Copyright shall be infringed by a person who, without the licence of the owner of the
copyright, does or causes any other person to do, in Namibia, any act which the owner has the
exclusive right to do or to authorise.
(2) Without derogating from the generality of subsection (1), copyright in a work shall be
infringed by a person who, without the licence of the owner of the copyright(a) imports into Namibia an article for a purpose other than for his or her private and
domestic use;
(b) sells, lets or by way of trade offers or exposes for sale or hire in Namibia an article;
(c) distributes in Namibia an article for the purposes of trade, or for any other purpose, to
such an extent that the owner of the copyright in question is prejudicially affected; or
(d) acquires in Namibia an article relating to a computer program,
if to such person's knowledge the making of that article constituted an infringement of that
copyright or would have constituted such an infringement had that article been made in
Namibia.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), the copyright in a literary or musical work shall be infringed by
a person who permits a place of public entertainment to be used for a performance in public
of the work, where the performance constitutes an infringement of the copyright in the work.
(4) Subsection (3) shall not apply in a case where the person permitting the place of public
entertainment to be so used was not aware and had no reasonable grounds for suspecting that
the performance would constitute an infringement of the copyright.
