The Copyright Act provides for offences which constitute copyright infringement, including criminal violation of copyright, also called piracy. Copyright offences, especially piracy, are often punishable, on conviction, by both fines and terms of imprisonment. The Commission’s Copyright Inspectors are vested under the Copyright Act with all the powers of a Police Officer under the Police Act for investigation, raids, arrests and prosecution in respect of copyright offences for the purpose of enforcement of the Copyright Act.
