Regulatory AlertsCopyright (Virgin Islands) Order (Revised 2020)
The Government of the Virgin Islands issued this revised statutory instrument to extend and adapt the United Kingdom Copyright Act 1956 to local jurisdiction. The Order consolidates the original 1962 legislation with its 1985 amendment, systematically replacing UK-specific references with Virgin Islands authorities and currency while updating royalty rates, infringement time limits, and administrative procedures. It establishes the comprehensive legal framework for copyright protection, enforcement mechanisms, and fee structures applicable across the territory as of January 2020.
