- ItemCopyright codes of best practices for media access, reuse and preservation(2024) Graham, Rumi Y.; Langrell, Kate; McPeak, Taylor; Taylor, DonSession presented June 21, 2024 at the ABC Copyright Conference, Halifax, NS. Abstract: Educators, researchers, artist-scholars, and librarians face a pressing need to be able to continue to access, preserve, and reuse media content. Barriers to access, preservation, and reuse are increasing as copyright owners continue to use technology to lock-down access and move the industry away from physical formats towards streaming media and licensing, and the resultant overriding of copyright exceptions. This session highlights a pan-Canadian multi-institutional initiative to develop two best practices codes in applying fair dealing and other exceptions (user rights) in scholarly and professional practices involving copyright-protected media. The Media Access and Copyright Group (MAC) was created under the sponsorship of the Film and Media Studies Association of Canada. Comprising about 40 communication and media studies scholars, academic librarians, copyright advisors, filmmakers, and legal experts, MAC is developing two codes to help media and communication scholars and academic librarians understand when unauthorized uses of media content may be permissible for educational, research-creation, or preservation purposes. The session will briefly outline the structure of MAC and its best practices research project,. This session also touches on the importance of best practices codes for fair dealing. In the Q&A, presenters will invite attendees to share their experiences in using, or advising on the use, of media content in the teaching and research environment and on the uncertainties they face in discerning copyright issues in this area.

- ItemOA policies & traditional publishing agreements: status of non-exclusive licenses in Canadian copyright law?(2019) Graham, Rumi Y.; Bell, Allan; Lapierre, Dominique; Swartz, MarkTo ease the problem of paywall-blocked access to scholarly articles arising from publicly funded research, some universities have adopted a rights-retention OA policy. In this type of policy, faculty grant to the university a blanket non-exclusive license to make the accepted manuscript version of their scholarly articles publicly available in the university's research repository. But what happens if a university adopts an OA policy and faculty subsequently continue to sign publishers' standard publishing agreements that typically require an author to either transfer all copyrights or provide an exclusive license to the publisher? This presentation outlines a project that explores this question within Canadian copyright law.
- ItemRecalibrating some copyright conceptions: toward a shared and balanced approach to educational copying(University of Guelph, 2014) Graham, Rumi Y.Most of Canada’s publicly-funded educational institutions have operated since the 1990s under blanket reprographic licences. But recent Copyright Act amendments and Supreme Court decisions in several copyright cases have added legislative and judicial weight to the idea that copyright encompasses both private owners’ rights and public users’ rights in the form of infringement exceptions such as fair dealing. Many educational institutions have responded to these changes by moving toward greater reliance on statutory users’ rights and direct licensing with copyright owners, and by moving away from blanket collective licensing. Not unexpectedly, copyright owners and the societies and collectives that represent them see the changes in copyright law in a different light. Copyright owners’ and educators’ variant conceptions of the kinds of educational copying that are compensable pose a challenging policy problem in need of a principled solution that upholds the legislative underpinnings of copyright law and is perceived to be fair. This article attempts to frame a balanced understanding of underlying issues by considering the nature and purpose of copyright, the purpose of copyright collectives, what is meant by fair dealing, and, ultimately, how we should think about copyright. It suggests that meaningful change may not be achievable without concerted attention paid to the language we use to think and talk about copyright in order to construct a combat-free shared space in which learning, inquiry, and the production of creative works are fostered and, when appropriate, rewarded fairly.
- ItemWhat has changed since 2015? A new and expanded update on copyright practices and approaches at Canadian post-secondaries(University of Alberta Library, 2021) Graham, Rumi Y.; Winter, ChristinaObjective–The aim of this study is to update our understanding of how Canadian post-secondary institutions address copyright education, management, and policy matters since our last survey conducted in 2015. Through the new survey, we seek to shed further light on what is known about post-secondary educational copying and contribute to filling some knowledge gaps such as those identified in the 2017 statutory review of the Canadian Copyright Act.Methods–In early 2020, a survey invitation was sent to the person or office responsible for oversight of copyright matters at member institutions of five Canadian regional academic library consortia. The study methods used were largely the same as those employed in our 2015 survey on copyright practices of Canadian universities. Results–In 2020, respondents were fewer in number but represented a wider variety of types of post-secondary institutions. In general, responsibility for copyright services and management decisions seemed to be concentrated in the library or copyright office. Topics covered and methods used in copyright education remained relatively unchanged, as did issues addressed in copyright policies. Areas reflecting some changes included blanket collective licensing, the extent of executive responsibility for copyright, and approaches to copyright education. At most participating institutions, fewer than two staff were involved in copyright services and library licenses were the permissions source most frequently relied on “very often.” Few responded to questions on the use of specialized permissions management tools and compliance monitoring.Conclusion–Copyright practices and policies at post-secondary institutionswill continue to evolve and respond to changes in case law, legislation, pedagogical approaches, and students’ learning needs. The recent Supreme Court of Canada ruling on approved copying tariffs and fair dealing provides some clarity to educational institutions regarding options for managing copyright obligations and reaffirms the importance of user’s rights in maintaining a proper balance between public and private interests in Canadian copyright law.
