Task: Create a cloze passage with 10 blanks:

Name: Kaylee Cheung Original passage (Please type the passage below.) Hong Kong's law on copyright is to be found in the United Kingdom Copyright Act 1956, which was extended to Hong Kong by the Copyright Orders 1972 to 1990. The 1956 Act does not specifically deal with the protection of computer software but this was clarified when the Copyright (Computer Software) Amendment Act 1985 was passed by the U.K. government and was extended to Hong Kong effective from 1 February 1988 by the Copyright Order 1987. This established that computer software is to be protected by copyright legislation, and being regarded as literary works, is in line with the Berne Convention, of which Hong Kong is a member. However, the U.K. 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, which succeeded the 1956 Act as the legislation for the protection of copyright in computer software, has not been extended to Hong Kong. In light of such changes in the United Kingdom, as well as realising the fact that the Copyright Act 1985 was only introduced to act as an intermediate measure to enable a full review of the copyright laws, the Hong Kong Law Reform Commission was asked by the Hong Kong government to review the copyright law of Hong Kong, with their recommendations published in the form of the "Report on Reform of the Law relating to Copyright", but the present copyright protection in Hong Kong is still governed by the 1956 and 1985 Acts.
