In fact, the United States has a much more generous notion of fair dealing, yet they still provide a good-faith exception, so I don't know why Canada would shoot itself in the foot by rendering its professors and its students more vulnerable, with fewer restrictions, than in the United States. After all, don't we want our students and professors to be at least as smart as their American counterparts? Why would we hobble them and cripple them and make them cower in fear every time they download something?
