Industry committee I'm sorry. I'm not following. What is the question?

Industry committee My understanding is that's the length of the copyright, life plus 50.

Susan Parker
Industry committee No, it's the opposite. I would not.

Susan Parker
Industry committee It's fine as it is. I wouldn't extend it. I don't have a recommendation for reducing it. I think it is what it is.
May 11th, 2018Committee meeting
Susan Parker
Industry committee Well, what I'm saying in my opening comments is that I do not wish for it to extend to 70 years.
May 11th, 2018Committee meeting
Susan Parker
Industry committee Because I deal in an academic institution and most of the content that we're talking about is academic in nature that's requested and required by our faculty and researchers—that's also what they feed into—there's a great bit of dynamism right now among academics who publish to t

Susan Parker
Industry committee I think that creators have some power. I know that's true in the academy.

Industry committee We're paying Access Copyright when it's appropriate, when the material requested for a course pack comes from material that we need to negotiate payment for. In other words, if a faculty member is creating a course pack that includes a printed work or a chapter or more from a pri

Susan Parker
Industry committee Right. That's what I'm trying to say. Thank you.
May 11th, 2018Committee meeting
Susan Parker
Industry committee I don't know that it's necessarily a problem. I think that it's an insurance so that something like what was just described doesn't become more normative in licensing. Right now fair dealing helps us negotiate licences that allow us to do certain things with content. We put them
May 11th, 2018Committee meeting
Susan Parker
Industry committee It would depend, for me at least, on how that would be managed. Many of our students aren't necessarily capable of paying any access rights that they might have to negotiate.

Industry committee Yes.
