4. Copyright Basics

5. Copyright Basics: the “bundle”
A set of exclusive rights (Life + 50 years) to:
Perform
Produce, reproduce, perform or publish any translation of a work
Reproduce, adapt, and publicly present the work
Communication the work to the public by telecommunication
Authorize others to do any of these things
Copyright Act of Canada:

6. Copyright Basics: “fixity”
What is automatically protected?:
Copyright subsists in every original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic work – not in the ideas conveyed by those works, but in the expression of those ideas in a material form.
University of Toronto Copyright FAQ:

7. Copyright Basics: Fair Use and Fair Dealing
In Canada, “Fair Dealing” has two tests:
The “dealing” must be for an allowable purpose:
Research, private study, education, parody, satire, criticism, review, or news reporting
The “dealing” must be “fair” - consider these six (and perhaps other) factors:
The purpose of the dealing
The character of the dealing
The amount of the dealing
The nature of the work
Available alternatives to the dealing
The effect of th dealing on the work

8. Managing Copyright at your Publication

9. Managing Copyright: Options
Assignment vs. License:
An assignment of copyright is a transfer of a right such that the assignee is the owner of the legal interest in that right and the assignor is left without any control over the right transferred
A license is a permission to do certain acts which might otherwise constitute infringement of the licensor’s right and does not involve any change of ownership in the copyright.

10. Managing Copyright: Options
An assignment conveys ownership
can be transferred, sold, or re-assigned at a later date
Has a set term
A license permits use
Author keeps ownership
Limited to rights expressly permitted
Can be non-exclusive
Term can be unclear; termination usually depends on notification
