Dear Mr X,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Please be informed that copyright can subsist in original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works; software program; sound recordings, films, broadcasts or cable programmes; and the typographical arrangement of published editions. Copyright works made available on the internet environment are also protected. Copyright is an automatic right. It arises when a work is created and no registration is required in the Hong Kong SAR.
There are no formalities required to obtain copyright protection for a work in Hong Kong. Works of authors from any place in the world, or works first published anywhere in the world, also quality for copyright protection in Hong Kong.
When a person is illegally download, upload or distribute the copyrighted works without the permission of the copyright owner on the internet, he or she is liable for civil or even criminal offence. For penalties for criminal offences, you can also refer to Copyright Ordinance Cap 528 ( the Ordinances are available through the Department of Justice's Bilingual Law Information System (BLIS) on the Internet at http://www.justice.gov.hk/eng/home.htm) sections 118 & 119.
