SUMMARY:Webinar: User Rights in the Age of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 25\, 2026\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:00pm ET \nRegistration \nSince the Supreme Court of Canada’s 2004 decision in CCH Canada Ltd v Law Society of Upper Canada\, the global copyright landscape has changed considerably. While a number of jurisdictions have transplanted\, or considered the transplantation of\, a fair use or user right regime from abroad\, other jurisdictions have actively introduced express copyright exceptions to support text and data mining and the creation of parodies\, satires\, caricatures\, and pastiche works. \nIn the past few years\, the arrival of ChatGPT\, Dall-E\, Midjourney\, Stable Diffusion\, Copilot\, and other generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools has also raised new questions among policymakers and commentators concerning the future development of copyright law. In the AI area\, three sets of issues have dominated the policy and academic debates: (1) the eligibility of AI-generated creations for copyright protection; (2) the unauthorized use of copyright works to train AI models; and (3) the use of AI to support the protection\, enforcement\, or licensing of rights under copyright law. \nThis presentation examines the protection of user rights in the age of generative AI. It further explores the challenges and uncertainties surrounding such protection. The presentation concludes by interrogating whether the arrival of generative AI has raised new questions about the protection of user rights—and if so\, what policy responses should be introduced to address these questions. \nSpeaker: Professor Peter K. Yu\n“Peter K. Yu (余家明) is University Distinguished Professor\, Regents Professor of Law and Communication and Director of the Center for Law and Intellectual Property at Texas A&M University.  He held the Kern Family Chair in Intellectual Property Law at Drake University and was Wenlan Scholar Chair Professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in Wuhan\, China.  He served as a visiting professor of law at Bocconi University\, Hanken School of Economics\, Hokkaido University\, Tel Aviv University\, the University of Haifa\, the University of Helsinki\, the University of Hong Kong\, the University of Strasbourg and Washington and Lee University.  He also founded the nationally renowned Intellectual Property & Communications Law Program at Michigan State University\, at which he held faculty appointments in law\, communication arts and sciences\, and Asian studies.” View his full biography.

SUMMARY:CARL Webinar: Beyond Marrakesh: Fair Dealing and Creating Accessible Copies of Works for Disabled Persons
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, February 26\, 2025\nTime: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST (11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST) \nRegistration required \nPresenter: Rowan Meredith\nDoctor of Juridical Science (SJD) Student\, University of Toronto \nThe Marrakesh Treaty\, which entered into force in 2016\, was designed to create exceptions to copyright infringement for the creation of accessible copies of works for use by disabled persons. Libraries regularly rely on the Marrakesh Treaty\, and on Section 32 of the Copyright Act which implements the Treaty in Canada\, to produce accessible copies of works. However\, the disability exceptions to copyright law have limitations – for example\, they prohibit copying cinematographic works and works that are commercially available in an accessible format. These limitations often encourage libraries and other beneficiaries of the Section 32 provisions to be risk-averse in their copying activities. \nThis presentation will look at whether and to what extent the creation of accessible copies of works can be understood as falling under a broader exception to copyright law – fair dealing. The presentation will explore the fair dealing jurisprudence in Canada\, recognizing that user rights in Canada are meant to be given a broad and liberal interpretation\, and will apply it to the creation of accessible copies of works for use by disabled persons. In doing so\, the presentation will suggest an alternate basis in copyright law for libraries to create accessible copies of works where the Section 32 disability exceptions are insufficient for a given purpose.

SUMMARY:September 2024 Copyright Community of Practice call
DESCRIPTION:With the majority of teaching and research materials now accessible only via licensed\, electronic platforms\, users rights are often curtailed by language contained in licensing agreements. Are statutory user rights becoming increasingly overridden by contracts? Do contracts limit these rights for end users and libraries? Can fair dealing “always be available” even if a negotiated contract says otherwise? \nJoin us for this community call to hear from a panel of legal scholars and library practitioners discussing whether users’ rights under the Copyright Act can be overridden by contracts and how to avoid unnecessary restrictions in our day to day activities. There will be time for questions and to share your thoughts about how legislative change in this area is needed. \nRegistration required
