@knu @chartier #fairdealing is way better than #fairuse at least in Canada. You ought to read the Canadian Supreme Court's CCH Judgement.

It is surprising that New Zealand has been slow to recognise such exceptions - given it has been the origin of John Clarke, Footrot Flats, the Flight of the Conchords, What We Do in the Shadows, Wellington Paranormal, Meet the Feebles...
I somehow missed this post on the Blacklock's #fairdealing judgment. #copyright

A rare copyright win for the public – but a small one, only in Canada, and possibly temporary
It is extraordinary that within the copyright world it is accepted dogma that legal protections for this intellectual monopoly should always get stronger – creating a kind of copyright ratchet.

Huge Win for Copyright User Rights in Canada: Federal Court Rules Digital Lock Rules Do Not Trump Fair Dealing - Michael Geist https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2024/06/huge-win-for-copyright-user-rights-in-canada-federal-court-rules-digital-lock-rules-do-not-trump-fair-dealing/
TL;DR - skip to the final two paragraphs
'The Federal Court of Canada has issued a landmark decision (Blacklock’s Reports v. Attorney General of Canada) on copyright’s anti-circumvention rules which concludes that digital locks should not trump fair dealing. Rather, the two must co-exist in harmony, leading to an interpretation that users can still rely on fair dealing even in cases involving those digital locks.' https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2024/06/huge-win-for-copyright-user-rights-in-canada-federal-court-rules-digital-lock-rules-do-not-trump-fair-dealing/ #copyright #digitallocks #TPMs #fairdealing @mgeist

#AccessCopyright & #Copibec, #copyright collectives serving over 40,000 writers, visual artists, and publishers across Canada, are alarmed by the Government of Canada's Budget 2024, which neglects to include long-needed action regarding Canada’s #fairdealing regime.
It's #FairDealing / fair use week. This is a list of myths and facts about fair dealing https://fair-dealing.ca/#Myths in #Canada

An analysis of US law and AI.
"The training of AI models by using copyright-protected inputs falls squarely within what courts have already determined in TDM cases to be a transformative fair use."
I wonder if anyone is operating a podcast that republishes any public debate among election candidates or leaders. So people can subscribe and get all the debates in one feed. If they are, I wonder how copyright might impact them?
Let's say it's someone who lives in Aotearoa. Podcasting from an onshore server, with no advertising or any other revenue. Would they be protected by Fair Dealing?

No surprise that a person who supported the governments horrible #c18 legislation and the online streaming act, also supports directly taking away users #fairdealing rights under #cooyright.
Sigh. This government is making all the wrong decisions and are getting support for it the whole way.
Rather than adapt its outdated business model to our digital reality, the collective rights organization Access Copyright is making false assertions of rampant infringement, even ‘theft.’ #copyright #copyright infringement #fairdealing #accesscopyright
