Balanced recommendations for progressive copyright reform
The document provides progressive recommendations that support a more balanced copyright system. Michael Geist provides an overview, including the following key findings that, if pursued, could enhance user rights
And its expansion under the Canadian copyright system:
Expanding the scope of fair dealing by making the current list of fair dealing objectives illustrative and not exhaustive (using open-ended legislative language such as "as"),
He rejected the new restrictions on dealing in the educational exhibition with further study in three years
Maintain current safe haven rules for the Internet,
Reject the proposal to ban FairPlay while insisting that any ban includes court oversight,
Expanding anti-fraud rules by permitting circumvention of digital locks for legal purposes (for example, allowing fraud to exercise fair dealing rights),
Extend the copyright period only if USCMA has been certified and includes the registration requirement for an additional 20 years,
Implement a new infographic (also known as text and data mining) exception,
Further study of legal disadvantages for all copyright collections coupled with greater transparency,
Adopting an open license instead of revoking copyright (i.e. putting works directly into the public domain).
The INDU report is a breath of fresh air for copyright policy-making, especially given the recent adoption of the lagging reform of the European Union Copyright Directive in the Digital Single Market, which included the provision that nearly all for-profit websites would require platforms to obtain a license Each user uploads or installs content filters and content censorship, so that they are not held responsible for the violation.
Creative Commons and Creative Commons Canada provided inputs to the consultation on copyright reform in Canada. In May 2018, we provided feedback to INDU. First, we said that the Canadian copyright term should remain the same; There is no reason to consider any further extension of copyright. Second, we urged the government to protect and promote limitations and exceptions to copyright, because these important measures ensure balance in our legal framework. Third, we advocated for Canada to maintain, maintain and improve existing safe haven protection in relation to broker liability and copyright, noting that the Health Commons requires a healthy ecosystem for the platforms and infrastructure to participate. Finally, we urged the government to continue to support policy efforts to ensure open access to publicly funded resources, including making it clear that we have the right to use and reuse the work our government produces.
Additionally, in October 2018, Creative Commons Canada appeared before the committee to provide testimony and answer questions regarding recommended copyright changes that would enhance creativity and expand the commons. In addition to the issues mentioned above, CC Canada has touched on other areas of copyright interference, including allowing creators to regain copyright control in their work after 25 years of assignment, fair dealing protection, especially for education, and expanding user rights to start the most recent. Technologies Research related to machine learning and artificial intelligence by ensuring that "the right to read is a right to excavation, and to reform the crown copyright system to ensure all Canadians have the right to access and reuse government-produced works.
We are pleased to see many of these points included in the recommendations issued this week, including resistance to extending the copyright period, protection and potential expansion of limitations and exceptions such as fair dealing, authors' ability to recover their rights, and a recommendation to include a copyright exemption for extracting text and data.
On a related note, the committee was right to put an end to the idea put forward by Bell and a group of Canadian telecom companies last year to create a "Internet Piracy Review Agency". Although the Communications Regulatory Authority of Canada rejected this request in October of last year, the INDU confirmed the ruling by saying that “the courts have the right to rule on whether a particular use constitutes a copyright infringement and to issue orders as a result”.
The Canadian report offers a glimmer of hope that copyright policy can be strengthened in a way that fosters creativity and innovation, while protecting critical user rights. This contrasts with the end result of the European Copyright Directive, which reflects a troublesome path towards increasing control over the web
