Copyrighted works can be used for the
purpose of
Research
Private study (=Fair dealing)
Criticism
Review
News reporting
Education (=Fair dealing)
Satire
Parody
Student copies
(Education = Private Study)

Teachers have no ulterior motive for personal gain
when providing copies to students
Access Copyright Court Case:
It seems … axiomatic that most students lack the expertise
to find or request the materials required for their own
research and private study, and rely on the guidance of
their teachers.
They study what they are told to study, and the teacher's
purpose in providing copies is to enable the students to
have the material they need for the purpose of studying.
The teacher/copier therefore shares a symbiotic purpose
with the student/user who is engaging in research or
private study. Instruction and research/private study are,
in the school context, tautological. (identical)
Fair Dealing – 6 factor test

School Libraries
 Can
make a backup copy for damage
restoration
 IF replacement copy is NOT commercially
available:
•
o
make a copy if the original is in an obsolete
format / in danger of becoming obsolete
(technology to use is unavailable)
Provide digital inter-library loans (not to
create additional copies to loan):
Digital Inter-Library Loans

libraries able to loan digital copies of
resources to their patrons or patrons of
other libraries so long as they:
 Don’t
make more than one copy
 prevent communicating to another person
 prevent use for more than five business days


Schools can show DVD or video for ed. purposes IF:
Legally obtained copy (purchased, rented or
borrowed from a store, library or friend)
PPR license (VEC or Audio-Cine) NOT required for
educational use
PPR license still required for snowstorms, afterschool
extracurricular activities etc. (confirmed by VEC)
YouTube (uses Creative Commons, over 18)
NOT paid subscriptions for personal use (eg. Shaw
VOD)
(Netflix permitted to be streamed CBE)
NOT a copy made at home
Site licensing – tiered pricing
Producers/Distributors sometimes have tiered pricing:
• Individual private copy $10
• school site license $50
• School board circulating price $150

Paying more for a site license for a school to
show a video for educational purposes “may”
no longer be necessary because Bill C-11
allows for a private copy of a DVD from home
to be shown in class for educational purposes.
It would be shown only to one group or
person at a time. This is our current
understanding.
Format Shifting

Format shifting or conversion of content to a
different format (ie VHS to DVD to digital) for
private purposes is permitted assuming:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
converting from an authorized copy
no circumvention of technology used (ie. Digital
locks can’t be broken)
use for private purposes (not shared/streamed)
don’t give it away
not a copy to CD (private copying levy)
an individual can do this for themselves, not for a
large group to access it (such as in a classroom)
Libraries can convert format if medium is obsolete
