Policymakers in other countries can also learn from Thailand’s lack of prohibition on
multiple reproductions and clear limitation as to the permissible amount of reproduction, which
may result in the court creating some unique approaches inconsistent with the three-step test, in
order to allow photocopy shops and users to reproduce copyright materials under the
exceptions, regardless of whether such reproduction impairs the economic interest of copyright
owners. This view is supported by several IIPA reports on copyright protection in Thailand,
which illustrate that the increased quantity of copyright infringement in the Thai education
sector results from the lack of a clear prohibition on the reproduction of entire textbooks and
multiple reproductions.55
