Teachers’ and students’ perspective about #copyright on university campuses will be heard today by the Supreme Court in York University v Access Copyright. We submit that the goals of #education and copyright align to favour fair dealing.
Live at 9:30! CAUT and @CFSFCEE are arguing before @SCC_eng for fair dealing. Watch here: scc-csc.ca/case-dossier/info… #cdnpse

The ideas we offered the Supreme Court today were also inspired by and/or cited luminaries David Vaver @IPOsgoode and @WCL_PIJIP’s Peter Jaszi. Few if any copyright scholars’ work on user rights has been more influential.

Must also mention the great work of @bc_butler on transformational use of copyright materials in education, which we cited to the Supreme Court, and @DrEmilyHudson’s research project and whole book covering this case that helped immensely in formulating our submissions.

After Justice Abella’s incredibly moving remarks, I can tell you there was not a dry eye in our virtual courtroom.
Justice Abella leaves the #SCC courtroom for the last time. The Court’s longest-serving current member will continue to work on judgments for cases she heard before retiring, effective July 1. All the best Justice Abella! #judges #cdnlaw

International trade law on vaccine patents can be hard to understand. To see why waiving intellectual property rules at the World Trade Organization would be a very big deal, watch this film for some history on the issue: 📽 netflix.com/title/70268209 @DylanMohanGray @fitbmovie.

See below which countries support the #TRIPSwaiver which would halt IP/patents on COVID-19 medicines, vaccines, and other health tools, until global herd immunity is reached. (Helping manufacturers scale up production of these lifesaving tools).

Not every day the Prime Minister is asked to respond to your tweet. Only wish @JustinTrudeau would have addressed the real issue: Bill C-10 regulates user generated content and grants the CRTC the power to regulate what Canadians see in their TikTok, Youtube, and Instagram feeds.
