Contexto

The English Virginia Company settled Bermuda in 1609 through the wreck of the Sea Venture. In 1612, the company's Royal Charter was altered to officially include Bermuda within its geographic boundaries and settlers were despatched to the archipelago to join the three survivors remaining from the Sea Venture. Planning also began for an under-company, the Somers Isles Company, that administered Bermuda from 1615 to 1684, when the Crown revoked the company's Royal Charter and took over direct administration of the colony. Under the company, an elected legislature had been introduced in 1620 and an appointed Council, under a company appointed (Lieutenant-)Governor. The Crown left this system of local governance in place. Within the Empire, Bermuda was administratively part of British North America. Following the independence of the thirteen colonies that became the United States of America, Bermuda became an Imperial fortress, the most important British naval and military base in the Western Hemisphere, with the British Government taking more interest in its governance, though it generally respected the established delegation of competencies to the local Government. In 1981, British colonies, including Bermuda, were re-styled British Dependent Territories, a designation that caused much ire amongst colonials. Since 2002, this has been modified to British Overseas Territories. Bermuda is internally self-governing, and its government enacts local laws.

As of 2019, Bermuda Laws Online showed that the relevant law was the Copyright and Designs Act 2004.[1] The act is based on the Copyright Act 1956 of the United Kingdom as extended to Bermuda by the Copyright (Bermuda) Order 1962.[2004 Sec.3(1)]
