Pilot Programme for the Promotion of Local Publications and Reading Culture Notice of Programme Fee Allocation

The ‘Pilot Programme for the Promotion of Local Publications and Reading Culture’ (hereinafter referred to as the “Pilot Programme”) aims to support local authors and publications and to encourage the development and utilization of electronic platforms by the local publishing sector, as well as promote a quality reading culture in Hong Kong.

The Pilot Programme includes the launch of a new local book data database, providing digitized images of book cover, summaries/annotations and other such materials on locally published titles in the collection of the Hong Kong Public Libraries, and to link it to the online catalogue of the Hong Kong Public Libraries in order to display more comprehensive and detailed bibliographic information for the convenience of readers accessing library collections. The corresponding database and webpage were launched in April 2020, listing selected locally published titles. The Pilot Programme also provides promotional materials for local authors and publications, so that the library can promote meaningful reading recommendations, as well as supports the engagement of local authors to participate in major library promotion events as part of enhancing the reading culture.

The Hong Kong Reprographic Rights Licensing Society acts as the executive agency for the Pilot Programme. Through its collaboration with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, it is hoped that the publishing sector can deliver more of the bibliographic and promotional materials that will encourage members of the public to read more locally published books and enjoy a wider range of library services. So far, publishers participating in the Pilot Programme have provided some 67,000 bibliographic materials in the local book data database for readers’ reference.

The Pilot Programme will last for three years, from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023, with funding from the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Publishing organisations only need to provide bibliographic information for titles published in Hong Kong that are included in the collection of the Hong Kong Public Libraries, and every year during the period they can receive Programme Fee on a per title basis through the Programme.

According to the current distribution scheme, the fee amount/allocation will be divided into two categories according to public library loan rate in the year. Taking 2020 as an example, Category A: for more popular titles with annual loan tier record ranked 1st to 20,000th, HKD $190 per title per year. Category B: for less popular titles with annual loan tier record ranked 20,001st and after, HKD $50 per title per year.  For each title, the payment share between the publishing organisation and the author is 50:50. Participating publishing organisations are responsible for distributing the Programme Fee received to the concerned authors.

Notice is hereby given that the initial allocation has already been issued to the participating publishing organisations. If any authors who have not received the corresponding Programme Fee, they should check the matter with their publishers at any time between the date of this announcement and August 30, 2021.

Publishing organisations that have not yet participated in the project are welcome to support the Pilot Programme to promote a quality reading culture in Hong Kong. For further details of the Pilot Programme, please visit www.hkrrls.org.hk, call 25166268, or email info@hkrrls.org.hk for enquiries.

Hong Kong Customs detects largest case of selling infringing electronic question banks on record

Hong Kong Customs conducted an operation on April 8 to combat the online sale of infringing electronic question banks for primary schools. During the operation, five persons were arrested and a batch of items suspected to be involved in the cases was seized, including over 59 000 electronic files of suspected infringing question banks for primary schools. This is the largest on record among similar cases detected by Customs in terms of the quantity of files being seized.

Customs earlier received complaints from copyright owners alleging that suspected infringing question banks for primary schools were put on sale through online platforms. Through a big data analytics system, Customs officers conducted detection and analysis, and targeted a number of online pages on social media for investigation.

After an in-depth investigation, and with the assistance of copyright owners, Customs officers took enforcement action on April 8 and raided four residential premises in Sai Ying Pun, Shatin, Fanling and Tseung Kwan O as well as a tutorial centre in Sai Ying Pun. A batch of electronic files of suspected infringing question banks was seized with the subjects involved being Chinese, English, Mathematics and General Studies. Customs also seized a batch of items suspected to be connected with the cases, including five sets of computers, four tablet computers, a batch of USB flash drives, seven mobile phones and a batch of suspected infringing teaching materials.

During the operation, one man and four women, aged between 39 and 55, were arrested.

An investigation is ongoing.

The Group Head (Intellectual Property Investigation (Operations)) of Customs, Ms Wong Wai-chuen, today (April 13) appealed to members of the public at a press conference to respect intellectual property rights and to refuse purchasing infringing electronic question banks.

Customs also reminds the public not to sell or distribute infringing articles publicly. Under the Copyright Ordinance, without the licence of the copyright owner, any person who sells or possesses for sale any infringing article, or distributes an infringing article, otherwise than for the purpose of or in the course of any trade or business for profit or reward, to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the copyright owner, commits an offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a term of imprisonment for four years and a fine of $50,000 per infringing copy.

Members of the public may report any suspected infringing activities to Customs’ 24-hour hotline 2545 6182 or its dedicated crime-reporting email account (crimereport@customs.gov.hk).

推廣本地出版書籍及閱讀文化先導計劃網上座談會 精彩重溫

新冠疫情一波接一波,今年書展兩度延期,書迷固然失望,作家也失去了和讀者「談心」、介紹自己作品的機會,出版社也錯失了一年一度做推廣和促銷的盛事。
然而事情總有兩面,疫情之下待在家的人多了,看書的時間也更充裕,更多人發現了讀書的興趣,感受到閱讀的力量。
版權協會於2月4日特別為讀者及出版業界舉辦網上座談會,與知名作家及出版界代表以互動形式共同思考業界的新路向。
討論議題包括:
– 業界在疫情下的機遇和挑戰
– 創作數碼化下出版業界的回應和轉變
– 未來閱讀文化的轉變
– 疫情對推廣閱讀的影響及契機

疫情下的作家夢 如何延續閱讀文化?

每年書展都有作家講座,讓讀者和作者可以有一個面對面交流的機會,講座氣氛通常都很熱烈,成為香港一年一度的文化景觀。

新冠疫情一波接一波,今年書展兩度延期,書迷固然失望,作家也失去了和讀者「談心」、介紹自己作品的機會。很多人都說,網絡新世代改變了閱讀風氣,作家的路變得更難走。經歷了過去一年顛簸,三位不同背景的作家,探討了在疫下新常態中「作家夢」應如何走下去。
