Roundtea: "Demystifying Copyright...Just a Little Bit"
Join us for this discussion on how copyright and fair dealing work, including what the Copyright Act says about museums and archives. Topics will include: the definition of public domain (i.e. the difference between what is available publicly vs. “public domain” as a legal concept); litigation risks in the absence of donor paperwork; the use of materials found online; the scope of materials that can be shared from the archives; the intersection of privacy and copyright; Crown copyright; digitizing materials that are out of operation in print; the treatment of AI in copyright law; enforcement of copyright law; sources to consult regarding specific copyright questions; and the interaction of Anglo-American IP laws with Indigenous Ownership.
Speaker: David Spratley, DLA Piper (Canada) LLP
