Gareth launched this 'exclusive' to Reddit today-

Video intro:


Copy pasta for those who are TL;DR from Reddit:

For people who looked at the pdf and thought "****... FOUR PAGES?

Using the legislation mentioned, the NZ Copyright Act 1994
Take out this line:
(1) Fair dealing with a work for the purposes of criticism or review, of that or another work or of a performance of a work, does not infringe copyright in the work if such fair dealing is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.
Add in this line:
(1) Fair dealing with a work for the purposes of criticism or review, of that or another work or of a performance of a work, does not infringe copyright in the work if such fair dealing is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement, or if the purpose is for parody or satire.
So pretty clear-cut if you ask me.
More info on Fair Dealing can be found at Wikipedia

I would like to see "Parody, Satire, News Media, or Education", if it is not already covered under the Copyright Act.

Journalists are already covered by qualified opinion if I recall correctly and education is a fair use.
