Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  Because Access Copyright represents our members, we work very closely with them. There is another side to the work they're doing, on the innovation side with blockchain technology, to ensure that there is authentication with the work so that the resale right could potentially mov

Industry committee  I think something that could easily be done is the harmonization of statutory damages. As I mentioned in my presentation, currently other collectives such as Access Copyright can only collect the tariff. There are already other collective organizations, such as Re:Sound and SOCAN

Industry committee  I think the two recommendations that I brought forward go hand in hand. If we did exclude education from fair dealing, then I think we would need to go back to how it was with the collective. We would need to create a better mechanism, which we had before 2012 with Access Copyrig

Industry committee  Everything I recommended is basically urging everyone to come back to the table.

Industry committee  Yes.

Industry committee  In our opinion and based on the research that has been done, no.

Industry committee  It boggles my mind as well. At this level of education, I think that we should be encouraging the growth of knowledge, otherwise it's going to be on a steady decline, in terms of the quality of the work that is being provided to our students. I don't have an answer for you becau

Industry committee  Absolutely. That is why I—

Industry committee  Certainly. Yes, they are purchasing it. The Playwrights Guild of Canada has a bookstore called the Canadian Play Outlet and they will purchase one copy of the play digitally and then won't purchase any preceding licences for additional copies of that play.

Industry committee  No, they're purchasing one copy of the play. There is definitely an option to buy several copies from us to license it for photocopy. They are not doing that. That is what's happening right now.

Industry committee  I don't want to speak on behalf of educators because I'm not one, but I would certainly say that if you go through a course pack, you will find several Canadian authors included who have not been compensated, and haven't received any royalties for their work in those course packs

Industry committee  Playwrights Guild of Canada's core activity is a triennial contract with the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres. The foundation, and the reason that this contract and those standard agreements continue to hold any weight, is because of the copyright legislation that is
