Program
Introduction
Allan Bell, Associate University Librarian Digital Programs and Services at UBC Library, will provide an overview of the current copyright landscape in Canada.
Panel: The faces of fair dealing: A conversation about user rights in Canada
This panel discussion, moderated by Michal Jaworski, former legal counsel to UBC and partner at Clark Wilson LLP, brings together creators and users for a discussion about the importance of fair dealing. Panelists and attendees will discuss the role that fair dealing plays in their work, mechanisms that promote and impede reliance on fair dealing and how their communities of practice would be impacted if fair dealing were restricted.
Panelists include:
- Devon Cooke, documentary filmmaker
- Peter Musser, recent UBC iSchool graduate and YouTube creator
- Andrea Stuart, Canadian Association of University Teachers
- Linda Valecourt, Douglas College Bookstore
Keynote: Dr. Meera Nair - Fifteen years after CCH: A time to reflect on what came before, and what may be yet to come
Despite its fifteen-year tenure in Canada, the CCH decision remains misunderstood by its detractors and underused by its potential beneficiaries. This speaks to the reality that judicial (or legislative) change does not occur in a vacuum, but falls on living history. Given today's political climate, where misconception is shaping expectation, a deeper understanding of Canada's copyright experience may encourage more engagement with user rights.
Join Dr. Meera Nair, Copyright Officer for the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and author of FairDuty, a blog about copyright in higher education in Canada, for a keynote address on the ongoing impact of the CCH decision on the Canadian copyright landscape.
