From Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada | June 13, 2008
The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada supports proposed amendments to copyright law, tabled yesterday in the House of Commons, regarding educational use of Internet materials and the rules for Internet Service Providers, but is very concerned about the prohibition against circumventing Technological Measures and some of the continuing provisions on statutory damages.
We are very pleased that the bill contains an exception for educational use of Internet materials and a notice and notice regime for Internet service providers, but we do have serious concerns about the implications for higher education institutions of the provisions dealing with circumvention of technological measures and with statutory damages, said Claire Morris, president and CEO of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.
