Issues we discussed in Class …

HI all,

can teaching to a group of students with copyrighted material an offense ?

NO ,

according to IP law ,

“Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of section 9, the fair use of a work, including such use by reproduction in copies or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship or research, shall not be an infringement of copyright.”

What about the right to seize or act against misuse , after the death of copyright holder ?

“…….. subsequent to the death of the author, the physical person or legal entity upon whom or which the moral rights have devolved shall have the right to waive the said rights. ….”

Hope this sorts out the doubt ..  

Check page 11 of IP law in previous post .
