Abstract
Trinidad and Tobago’s ninth copyright case, Full Blown Entertainment, was a welcomed development. However, the actual decision delivered amounted to a missed opportunity to create desirable precedent to follow in developing Commonwealth countries with hybrid copyright acts based on UK law. As such, the shortcomings of the case are critically analysed and comments for the future development of copyright law in developing Commonwealth countries with hybrid copyright systems are offered.
