What Is Copyright?
Copyright means the sole right to produce or reproduce the work or any substantial part thereof in any material form whatever, to perform the work or any substantial part thereof in public or, if the work is unpublished, to publish the work or any substantial part thereof, and includes the sole right.
Copyright Act, R.S., c. C-30, s. 3
Why do we have Copyright?
Copyrights provide protection for literary, artistic, dramatic or musical works (including computer programs) and three other subject matter known as: performances, sound recordings and communication signals.”

Intellectual Property?You must obtain permission to use someone else’s intellectual property.
Two types of intellectual property:
1. Industrial property – inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial design and geographic indications of source.
2. Copyright – literary and artistic works.
We will focus strictly on copyright.
Copyright comes into effect?
• Immediately upon creation.
• Not necessary to register copyright.
• May do so with CIPO to prove that you are the registered owner and can be used in court as evidence of ownership.
Copyright Covers?• Copyright covers all formats of work:• Textual matter:
– Books– Journal articles– Newspaper articles
• Tables, charts, diagrams, figures• Cartoons• Digital media:
– Videos and sound recordings– Websites– Multimedia
Before you start …
Is copying or distributing material necessary?

Copyright, the Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency with whom we have a license.
Who is Access Copyright?• A Canadian not-for-profit agency. • Founded by creators and publishers to collectively
administer their copyright.• The Agency:
– Licenses legal access to copy from copyright-protected works, and
– Collects royalties from licenses and distributes those royalties to copyright owners.

dies plus 50 years following the end of that calendar year.(CIPO: http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/cipointernet-internetopic.nsf/eng/wr02395.html)
2. When a work is released by the creator without intention of claiming copyright. (Creative Commons: http://creativecommons.ca/index.php?p=cacopyright#faq_public-domain)
Open Access (OA) “A method of electronic publishing that allows anyone with an internet
connection to gain access to an entire published work online at no cost to the user”. (Sanford G. Thatcher)
Costs nothing to access.
Barriers to access removed, but most items are still covered by copyright.
Various reuses may still require permission from the copyright owner.
Must clarify the extent of openess associated with the item.

Fair Dealing Section 29 of the Copyright Act states:
• Fair dealing for the purpose of research or private study does not infringe copyright.
Other application:• Use of material for the purposes of criticism review and news
reporting is fair when properly attributed to the copyright owner or source.
Fair dealing does not prevent copyright owners from taking legal action against users but gives protection where "fair dealing" can be demonstrated.
JIBC Fair Dealing page:http://www.jibc.ca/library/services-faculty/copyright
Digital – Videos & DVDs• Videos can be shown in the classroom only if they
have Public Performance Rights (PPR). – We need PPR in Canada as the classroom is
considered a public place.– Documentary or educational videos borrowed from
public libraries or video stores cannot be shown in classrooms, as they are for home use only and do not have PPR.
• A compilation of video clips may only be done with written permission from all rights holders.
VHS to DVD transfer• Cannot transfer videos to DVD without
permission from copyright owner. – Contact the Library if you wish to do so. Library
will contact appropriate parties for permission.
• Streaming– DVDs can only be streamed (placed on the
Internet for online courses) once permission is received from the Distributor or Producer.
Digital – Feature Films• Most can be shown in the classroom as JIBC Library has an
institutional Feature Film Public Performance License.• Check with the JIBC Library to ensure that the production
company participates in one of our feature film licenses.• Films must be legal copies:
– Borrowed from a library, video store or from personal collections.
– NOT taped off-air.– Cannot put “clips” of films into PowerPoint presentation.
Digital – Music• You cannot download music for class use• It is assumed that most “legal” downloads are for
personal use• For permission, contact AVLA (Audio-Video Licensing
Agency) – This agency grants permission for duplicating and for playing
duplicated material– Retain a copy of the permission in perpetuity and provide the
Library with a copy– Only once permission is received can you embed music in
course material, etc.

the time the photo is taken.– The owner’s permission must be obtained in order
to use the photograph in any publication.• Permission must also be obtained from any
