The document about the Copyright law in Hong Kong is a very important message for all students and teachers, especially for those who develop the courseware.
It is very useful for including video and audio clips in a language learning courseware so as to raise the motivation of the learners. However, including copyrighted materials can be a big problem. It is resonable for video and audio creators to safe their right of publish in order to encourage more people to get into this creative industry. However, sometimes it is difficult to avoid. This is exactly what the 'fair' idea is. It's essential to be fair to the video and audio creators.
However, there are still some questions in my mind. Take the following case as an example. If a website includes the Youtube videos, which are originally copyrighted but in Youtube the videos are free to quote. Is that webpage violate the copyright law?
