The 10% I was talking about is related to standard practice. Mr. Sapp said earlier that the majority of Quebec universities had an agreement with Copibec, but that Université Laval did not. That university is currently facing a class action suit initiated by authors, publishers and rights holders. Université Laval did not negotiate an agreement and is arguing that fair dealing translates to 10% of a work—one chapter, one poem from a poetry collection or, possibly, one article from a magazine or a newspaper.
That's all fine and well, but what about a book with three chapters?
What about a collection of poetry with five poems?
Those interpretations strain the definition of fair dealing and the percentage of use, especially when it comes to universities.
