Copy Right Law in Canada

I learned a few interesting things about copy right law in Canada.  Perhaps one of the most important things I learned was the distinction between "fair use" (American Law) and "fair dealings" (Canadian Law). Fair dealings is explained to be the use of copy righted material for the purpose of study, research, criticism and review, under Canadian Law. While fair dealing is very similar to fair use, fair use includes using material for education purposes, where as fair dealing does not. Perhaps the most important thing to teach my future students regarding copy right law in Canada would be to alert them to the Creative Commons. The Creative Commons is a good interactive way to get engaged in learning about copy right law through actually partaking in its operations. For example, student signing up for the Creative Commons have to apply for a copy right licence and are able to view and use material according to the the four types of copy rights established by the Creative Commons forum.
