Canadian Heritage committee  Well, at the moment it's all carrot. There is no stick, because, as I said earlier, universities are smart. If you say to universities, “You have a choice: you can pay for content or not”, they will largely say, “You know what? We're not going to pay for content”, or “We'll put u

Canadian Heritage committee  Is that for me?

Canadian Heritage committee  I think our recommendations and the way that Access Copyright and other collectives operate is really content-agnostic. Whether the content is electronic, delivered in print or delivered in another method that we haven't even begun to imagine, it still has to be created and it st

Canadian Heritage committee  Exactly.

Canadian Heritage committee  It's a large list. We are all singing from the same songbook, but we are dealing with the same problems. When the copyright law was changed, I well remember the testimony of members of the Canadian Education Association, who said clearly there would be no loss to the publishing s

Canadian Heritage committee  I appear before you today on behalf of the Canadian Copyright Institute, an association of authors, producers, publishers and distributors of copyright works.

Industry committee  Well, I use Kanopy all the time. I watched Call Me By Your Name three days ago on Kanopy. That seems to me to be pretty.... I don't know what the arrangements are, but I love Kanopy. I never thought of it as mostly documentaries.

Industry committee  I think that it's finding a way, as I said in my document, to allow for fair dealing for individuals who want to copy, in an immediate way, two or three or four pages from a document for use for private study, and requiring that anything higher than that require a licence, if a l

Industry committee  Can I comment? The 10% or one chapter is something that was made up by the universities. It does not exist in legislation. This is important to understand.

Industry committee  No. The trend is flat.

Industry committee  The trend for going digital in the area that I know, certainly in my business, which is small scholarly publishers and the small university press and others, is definitely flat. We're not seeing an increase. Certainly, other people who have more experience in trade publishing tha

Industry committee  The key issue, of course, is to make the tariff mandatory. That's the first issue for reform. In the document we submitted a few months ago on reform of the Copyright Board, that was one of our key positions. Another important position, of course, is that the penalties are too lo

Industry committee  Well, it's hard to rebut, because of course we don't have numbers on the table. The fact is, the number we're aware of is that last year alone in Canada over 600 million paper copies were made of the content of Canadian publishers and other publishers. All the publishers in the a
