COPYRIGHT ORDINANCE - SECT 33

Secondary infringement: permitting use of premises for infringing performance

(1) Where the copyright in a work is infringed by a performance at a
place of public entertainment, any person who gave permission for that place
to be used for the performance is also liable for the infringement unless when
he gave permission he believed on reasonable grounds that the performance
would not infringe copyright.

(2) In this section "place of public entertainment" (公眾娛樂場所)
includes premises which are occupied mainly for other purposes but are from
time to time made available for hire for the purposes of public entertainment.
