Oh you mean like The Artist?

Bill C-11, the Copyright Modernization Act was introduced and had its first reading in the House of Commons last Fall. There's a long, long way to go until it becomes law. In terms of education, if passed, it will finally allow fair dealing which for the purposes of this listserv includes parity with the U.S. in terms of face to face teaching by removing the requirement to pay copyright owners to show films or recordings of broadcasts for educational purposes. http://balancedcopyright.gc.ca/eic/site/crp-prda.nsf/eng/rp01185.html

This may not pass at all. And there's a huge issue with enforcement of digital locks.

Susan Weber is, in my opinion, a Canadian PPR

I can be useful at times too.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
