Activity run in ENGLISH

Two recent decisions by the Federal Court of Appeal, York University v. Access Copyright and Entertainment Software Association v. SOCAN, raise interesting issues concerning collective management in Canada such as the mandatory nature of the tariffs certified by the Copyright Board of Canada, the interpretation of the “making available” right, and the role of international law in the interpretation of the Canadian Copyright Act.  Our two panelists will talk about the implications of these decisions and the discussion will be moderated by a chair who comes from a jurisdiction that knows of the concept of the extended collective licence.
