Summary[edit]
| Description | Causeway Bay is a very popular area among tourists and locals. It is located in the north part of Hong Kong Island between Wan Chai in the west and North Point in the north-east. The area lies on the territories of Wan Chai and Eastern Districts. In past times, the area was a fishing village, but now due to the massive urban development it has become to one of the most popular shopping districts in Hong Kong with the largest public park on the island. Due to crowds, some sides of shopping streets are closed to automobile traffic on weekends. Besides, the rent in the shopping areas is one of the highest in the world. |

The Public Domain Mark (PDM) is not a copyright license, but a symbol used to indicate that a work is in the public domain.

According to Sect 71 of the Copyright Ordinance of Hong Kong, it is not a copyright infringement to make graphic representations, take photographs, or broadcast the images of buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if the object is permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public. Because Hong Kong was a territory of the United Kingdom until 1997, Hong Kong law is modelled on UK law, and in the absence of any specific case law to the contrary it is reasonable to assume that the rules will be similar.
Similar to the UK law, 'works of artistic craftsmanship' is defined separately from 'graphic work'. The latter includes any painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart or plan, and any engraving, etching, lithograph, woodcut or similar work. Therefore freedom given in Sect 71 does not apply to posters or maps in public places.
