EDUCATIONAL SERVICES COPYRIGHT PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE:

This procedure defines the meaning of copyright and provides guidelines and procedures for its application to various media used in instruction at Georgian College ; and outlines the College’s role in compliance.
PURPOSE:

To provide direction to the students, faculty and staff of Georgian College to ensure compliance of the Copyright Act of Canada, R.S. 1985, c. C-42, as amended. The copyright procedure of Georgian College Of Applied Arts and Technology may be found online at: http://www.georgianc.on.ca/hr/proced/sect2/pro2_104.htm
SCOPE:

All students, faculty and staff who wish to copy or make other use of copyright-protected materials.
RATIONALE:

The College has a legal obligation to comply with the Copyright Act. The College needs to ensure that all graduates and staff obtain a level of information literacy that enables them to work effectively in the work world. They must be able to understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally.
RESPONSIBILITY AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS:

The responsibility for ensuring compliance lies with students and employees wishing to copy or otherwise make use of copyrighted materials. Having set forth guidelines in this procedure and having created procedures and provided resources in support of this procedure, the College will assume that the responsibility for any violation of the law rests with the individual. The College will inform its constituents of Copyright law and procedures.
GENERAL PRINCIPLES/INFORMATION:
Copyright Basics
What is copyright?

Copyright is the legal protection of literary, dramatic, artistic, and musical works, sound recordings, performances, and communications signals. Copyright gives creators the exclusive right to use and reproduce their works. The ‘uses’ are listed in the Copyright Act and include such rights as public exhibition, presentation and broadcasting of works, adaptation, translation, transformation of works from one media to another, recording works in any manner, and rental rights in respect of computer programs to name just a few.

It is an infringement to do anything that only the copyright owner has the right to do, unless the owner’s permission is given.
What is the purpose of copyright?

Copyright gives creators control over the use of their work and ensures that they are recognized and fairly compensated. The various exceptions that limit copyright are intended to serve the public’s need to have fair access to copyright material, for purposes such as private study, criticism, etc.
What material does copyright cover?

Copyright applies to all original literary, artistic, dramatic and musical works. These include: books, stories, newspaper, magazine, or journal articles, letters, tables, architectural plans and sketches, business forms, computer programs 1, plays, films, choreographic work, paintings, drawings, maps, charts, plans, photographs, engravings sculptures, works of artistic craftsmanship, architectural works, and songs. Copyright also exists in three other kinds of subject matter: sound recordings 2, communication signals 3, and performer’s performances 4 (such as when an actor performs, a musician plays a song, or a dancer performs a choreographed dance).

Copyright works are protected during the lifetime of the author and for fifty years after the author’s death.
What is ‘fair dealing’?

The ‘fair dealing’ clause in the Copyright Act allows an individual to make a copy of a work without the permission of the copyright owner for the purposes of private study, research, criticism, review or news reporting. In the case of all but study and research, the user must include mention of the source and, if given in the source, the name of the author. Fair dealing is generally considered to apply only to a relatively minor part of a work, both qualitatively and quantitatively. For example, fair dealing does not allow a student or staff member to photocopy the entire contents of a book.
What is an exception?

An exception permits educational institutions to make certain uses of a work protected by copyright, without having to ask for permission and without having to pay a royalty. Current copyright law allows members of a College community to:

* copy and perform very small parts of any work protected by copyright, unless the part is highly significant or valuable,
* use small parts of works protected by copyright for private study 5 , research, criticism, review, or news reporting under the sections of the Copyright Act that allow such uses of copyright material – referred to as ‘fair dealing’
* copy a work protected by copyright by hand onto a surface normally used to display hand-written material, such as a blackboard, whiteboard, or flip chart,
* copy a work protected by copyright for the purpose of overhead projection using a device such as an LCD, overhead, opaque, or slide projector, provided the work is used for the purpose of education and training and is not already available in a commercial format,
* copy or show a work or other subject matter as required for a test or examination, provided that no appropriate copy is otherwise commercially available,
* conduct a live performance of a work by students in a classroom setting as discussed below; and
* listen to or view a radio or television program in the class at the time of its broadcast, as discussed below.

Other exceptions include 6:

* making a back-up copy of a computer program,
* prepared materials for those with perceptual disabilities,
* reporting a public lecture,
* public recitation,
* performance of music in furtherance of a religious, educational or charitable
* object (subject of a previous opinion), and
* private copying of music

Procedure
Specific Works and Their Use at Georgian College
Print

Under the college’s Access Copyright licence (formerly Cancopy), instructors, staff and students can make copies of most copyright-protected works for teaching, research, study and administrative purposes such as class handouts, lab manuals, interlibrary loans and library reserves. The College’s licence agreement with Access Copyright allows the college to do the following:
Copying for class distribution

* One copy can be made for each student in the class, two copies for each instructor and the number of copies required for administrative purposes. Copies made for library reserve and interlibrary loan also fall under this category.
* No more than 10% of a published work can be copied unless it is one of the following:
o an entire single essay, short story, play, article or poem from a book or periodical issue containing other works
o an entire chapter, if it is not more than 20% of the book
o an entire newspaper article or page
o an entire entry from an encyclopedia or similar reference book
o a single item of print music from a book or periodical containing other kinds of works
* Systematic or cumulative copying of the same published works that exceeds the required limit is not allowed.
* Copies of works cannot be made when it is known that the work is available as a separate publication at a reasonable price and can be obtained in a reasonable period of time.
* The following information should be included on the front page of the copy:
o the international copyright symbol (which is © )
o credit to the author and publisher and illustrator (if known)
o a notice that reads: This material has been copied under license from Access Copyright. Resale or further copying of this material is strictly prohibited.

The Access Copyright licence does not cover many text-based materials on the Internet and sheet music.
Self-service Photocopying

All self-service photocopier locations in the College must have posted close by the following notice:
Copyright
The use of this machine is governed by the Canadian Copyright Law.
Copying of a Substantial Part of a Work Protected by Copyright Requires Permission of the Copyright Owner.
It is the Responsibility of the Person Making the Copy to Determine if a Work Is Protected by Copyright and to Obtain Permission to Copy. It is not the Responsibility of the (Insert name of copier location, i.e. Library Commons)
The COPYRIGHT ACT is Contained in the Revised Statutes of Canada 1985.
Coursepacks

Coursepacks are custom packages of materials provided by faculty that may contain other published sources. At Georgian College , the Bookstore approves all coursepack material in compliance with the College’s Access Copyright license prior to printing. It is incumbent on faculty to provide the Bookstore with a Copyright Log (available from the Bookstore) detailing all copywritten material contained in the coursepack.
Computer Software

Copying software without permission is infringement. Georgian College students, faculty and staff are not allowed to use unlawfully duplicated computer programs for instructional or administrative purposes. The terms of the license that accompanies any purchased software must be complied with. The Information Technology Department has developed the following procedure in regard to software (Computer Services, Procedure #2-117, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTABLE USE PROCEDURE, May, 2000.):

The College believes that it has a corporate responsibility to protect against the improper use or illegal copying of software.

3.7.1 The software copyright protection laws will be communicated wherever software is distributed.

3.7.2 Software owned or licensed to the College may not be loaned, sold, reproduced or used for unlawful purposes.

3.7.3 All copies of software owned by the College must contain a label indicating that the software is the property of the College.

3.7.4 Information Technology staff will not install any software onto any College computing resource unless a valid license of the software is provided. In the situation of non-compliance, the individual will be subject to immediate disciplinary action under this procedure.

3.7.5 Should Information Technology staff be on a user’s computer, and have reason to believe that copyright laws are being violated, verification of a valid software license for the software on this computer will be requested. If it cannot be produced, then the software will be removed until the valid license is produced.

There are no specific exceptions permitting the copying of computer software for educational purposes. There are, however, two minor exceptions that permit owners of legal copies of computer programs to make a single reproduction of these programs: (1) One back-up copy of the program may be made, provided that the back-up copy is erased as soon as the person no longer owns the software; and (2) a single copy may be made by adapting, modifying, or converting the computer program or translating it into another computer language, if it is essential for the compatibility of the program with a particular computer 7 .
Videos and DVDs

Videos and DVDs can only be shown in the classroom if public performance rights have been obtained. A copyright owner has the right to authorize and get paid for the ‘performance in public’ of a work, including a video or DVD. The College, under copyright law, is considered to be a public place. It is therefore necessary to have the authorization of the owner of the copyright in the video or DVD. A video or DVD shown at the College must have a public performance license.

All videos and DVDs that are acquired by the College’s Learning Resource Centres or borrowed from other College libraries will normally include the right to perform the work in public (in the College). Videos and DVDs that are rented or purchased from most commercial sources such as video stores are licensed for ‘home use only’ – their performance in a classroom would be an infringement of copyright. To deal with this issue, the College has license agreements with Audio-Cine Films Inc. (ACF) and Criterion that allow the showing of motion picture VHS/DVDs produced by studios represented by ACF and Criterion. These licenses permit the showing of videos and DVDs from video rental stores, private collections or rentals from ACF or Criterion providing that potential showings are reported to the Library Commons. These licenses are only for showing a VHS/DVD in a not-for-profit classroom setting, and do not grant any type of duplication rights.

VHS/DVDs produced by other studios/producers are not covered by these agreements and permission must be obtained for public performance rights before those titles can be shown in a classroom setting.
Internet

It is often assumed that materials placed on the Internet are, by definition, ‘for public use’ and thus can be copied and incorporated into other material freely. This is not the case. The ease of copying does not displace copyright in all forms of copyright work, whether text, graphics, music, audio-visual materials, etc.

* Facts, ideas and information are not protected by copyright. Copyright protects the way in which information is expressed. Hence, expressing ideas, facts, or information in one’s own words is not copyright infringement.
Most material available on the Internet is protected by copyright. This includes
software, graphics, photographs, music, video clips, and text, including postings to newsgroups, e-mail messages. Reproduction and unauthorized use of such material is an infringement under current copyright law. Therefore, reproduction of any work or a substantial part of any work on the Internet would infringe copyright unless the permission of the owner has been obtained.
* Sometimes material is placed on the Internet with the message that it can be freely copied. In that case, there is an actual licence to copy the work. Sometimes the terms of the licence are subject to conditions. Common conditions are that the posting cannot be used for commercial purposes, must be circulated in its entirety, cannot be used out of context, and cannot be edited or reformatted. If the conditions are followed, a copy of the work can be made without infringing copyright. The material can only be used for other purposes – such as performance -  if those rights are explicitly granted.

Permission must be obtained in order to link or otherwise use images, movies, graphics or any other copyright works in a presentation.

Crediting the source does not change the fact of infringement if the owner has not given permission to use the material.

The Access Copyright agreement does not cover the duplication of materials in electronic or digital format. The fair dealing rule applies. Access Copyright provides a copyright clearance service for electronic/digital materials on a transactional basis. There is a charge for each transaction.
Electronic Formats

The Copyright Act permits limited use of materials for the purposes of research and private study. In using electronic databases, it would be permissible, for instance, to print one copy of an article, e-mail an article to oneself, or download and save an article to a disk for research purposes. In the case of e-mailing and saving to disk, the electronic copy must be deleted after it has been printed out. Copyright permissions may vary from one database to the other. To make copies of an article for distribution to students, to present such material to the public or for any purpose other than research or private study, permission must be obtained from the database vendor.
Musical Works and Sound Recordings

Music can be performed at the College without the copyright owner’s permission only when it is ‘in furtherance of an educational object’ such as performance of a piece of music in a classroom for the purposes of giving music instruction. ‘Furtherance of an educational object’ is very narrowly defined in the Act.

If the performance is not in furtherance of an educational object, the exception will not apply. For example, music used for entertainment at concerts, or dances must be paid for through tariffs administered by a collective, such as SOCAN 8 because they are not used in furtherance of an educational object. The copyright owners and/or the relevant collectives must authorize the public performance of music in these circumstances.
Dramatic Works – Plays

Students can perform a work protected by copyright such as a play in the classroom without permission from the copyright owner. There is a statutory exception permitting live performances, primarily by students, such as the performance of a play in a drama class. The performance must

* take place on the premises of the educational institution
* be for educational or training purposes
* not be for profit
* take place before an audience consisting primarily of students of the educational institution, instructors acting under its authority, or any person who is directly responsible for setting curriculum
* not involve a ‘motive of gain’

For performances that do not meet the exemption criteria, the copyright owner’s permission must be obtained, typically from the Playwright’s Guild. If the production is an adaptation of a book the publisher’s permission must be obtained. There are other examples. In all cases, one must ask where the work came from, who owns the copyright and how permission may be obtained.
Sound Recordings 9

Sound recordings can be played in the classroom. An exception permits the playing of sound recordings in a classroom provided that all of the following conditions are met:

* take place on the premises of the educational institution
* be for educational or training purposes
* not be for profit
* take place before an audience consisting primarily of students of the educational institution, instructors acting under its authority, or any person who is directly responsible for setting curriculum
* not involve a ‘motive of gain’

Radio and Television Programs

Radio or television programs cannot be played in the classroom. An exception allows the playing of radio and television programs at the time they are aired. All of the same conditions listed above regarding music and performances in the classroom must be met.

Instructors can copy news and news commentary programs from the radio or television. There is an exception permitting a person acting under the authority of a non-profit educational institution to make a single copy of a news program or a news commentary program, and to use the copy on the college premises for educational and training purposes. The copy can be made only at the time the program is aired. The audience must consist primarily of students of the educational institution. Documentaries are specifically excluded from the exception. The following conditions apply:

* The copy can be made and shown without the permission of the copyright owner or the payment of a royalty, an unlimited number of times, for up to one year from the date the copy is made.
* After one year, the copy must either be erased or be paid for.
* The educational institution is required to provide to the copyright owner or a collective representing the owner, upon request, information relating to the making, erasing, performing, and method of identification of the copy.
Copies that are not erased after one year will be subject to payment and to terms and conditions relating to the use, whether or not the copies are ever used . These costs may be substantial.

Professors copy other kinds of radio and television programs. An exception permits a person acting under the authority of a non-profit educational institution to make a single copy of all other types of broadcast programs (i.e., those that are not news or news commentary programs). The copy can be made only at the time the program is aired. An instructor may examine the copy for up to 30 calendar days, to determine whether the copy will be used on the premises of an educational institution for educational purposes. If the copy is shown in the classroom at any time (including within the 30-day evaluation period) or if it is not erased after 30 calendar days, it must be paid for.

The college is required to provide information relating to the making, erasing, performing, and method of identification of the copy to the copyright owner or a collective representing the owner. A copy may be viewed only by an audience consisting primarily of students of the educational institution and is subject to terms and conditions relating to the use of the copy and to payment, whether or not it is ever used.

To use non-news programming in class, or to retain news programming beyond one year, a tariff must be paid to the ERCC (Educational Rights Collective of Canada) to acquire those rights. 10
Performances and Presentations by Others

In video or audio taping College events, the College should obtain written permission from performers or presenters to videotape material and obtain a release right to its future use. As well, if a presenter hands out material, the College needs to obtain permission if it intends to copy and further distribute that material.
Work Made in the Course of Employment

The Collective Agreement Between Ontario Council of Regents for the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and Ontario Public Service Employees Union (for Academic Employees states in Article 13 (Copyright):

13.01 Except as may be otherwise mutually agreed between the employee and the College, a work commissioned by the College, or produced pursuant to the employee’s normal administrative or professional duties with the College, shall be and remain the property of the College. Other works produced by an employee shall be and remain the property of the employee. Nothing contained herein shall adversely affect any rights an employee may have under the Copyright Act ( Canada ) and in particular the subsection addressing ‘work made in the course of employment.’
Obtaining Permission to Copy
Permissions – how to avoid infringement.

Many of the rights provided to creators in Canadian copyright law are administered by collectives. A collective is an organization that administers the legal rights provided under the Copyright Act on behalf of copyright owners and rights holders who are members of that collective. Collectives can only license what copyright owners and rights holders authorize them to license.

There are many kinds of collectives representing different rights (reproduction, synchronization, performance, for instance) and different parties (such as songwriters on the one hand and performers on the other).

At Georgian, ACCESS COPYRIGHT licenses photocopying. Audio-Ciné Films Inc. licenses the public performance of feature-length videos. These licences permit copying and/or public performance without infringing copyright, as long as the copying and/or public performance remains within the negotiated limits set out in the licence.

The Educational Rights Collective of Canada (ERCC) collects royalties under a tariff system for the copying of radio and television programs at the time they are aired. SOCAN administers the public performance of music on behalf of songwriters and composers. The Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency ( C MRRA) deals with, among other things, synchronization rights, that is, putting music to video. The Playwright’s Guild manages performance and reproduction rights in respect of plays or

scripts. A comprehensive list of copyright collectives and agencies can be found at the Canadian Copyright Board website at http://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/societies/index-e.html .

In other cases, permission must be sought directly from the copyright owner.
Conversion Issues

For the most part, it is an infringement of copyright to convert a work from one format to another. The main exception is private copying of music. The private copying exemption in the Copyright Act 11 permits individuals to copy musical works for private use. For this reason, there are levies imposed on blank recording media 12 in order to compensate copyright owners 13. Hence, individuals who, for instance, copy music from a CD to an audiocassette are exempted from infringement.

The private copying exemption applies only to music, not to audiovisual or other works. The converting of an audiovisual work from one format to another – such as from video to DVD cannot be done without permission.

When arranging permission to record a presentation or performance, permission to convert the recording to other media formats should be obtained at the same time, whether in Canada or other jurisdictions.
Non-Compliance, Investigation and Resolution

The consequences of an action will be proportionate to the severity of the infraction.

The consequences for non-compliance may include but are not limited to: verbal and/or written warnings to stop infringing activities, denial of use of copyright material in the academic environment/classroom, rescinding of college services, removal of materials from computer equipment, facilities and networks, restitution of costs associated with copyright material, behavioural contract, mandatory training/education, disciplinary directives, suspension and/or dismissal from the college.
Resolution Process
STEP 1

Any offences, which contravene the terms and conditions of this procedure, will be brought to the attention of the individual alleged to have committed the offence, either verbally or in writing by the Director, Learning Resource Centres (LRCs) or designate, in the case of staff, or by the Program Coordinator, in the case of students; within five working days of the offence or within five working days of the offence becoming known.

The respondent (person alleged to have committed the infraction) may contact the Program Co-ordinator (for students), their immediate supervisor, Union representative, or Human Resource Services Consultant (for staff) for information about the resolution process and/or details of this procedure.

The Director, LRCs or designate will keep a detailed written record of the facts and circumstances related to the alleged offence including date(s), time(s), location(s) and witness (es). This information may be of assistance when/if the concern is pursued.
STEP 2

An informal discussion, led by the Director, LRCs, with the parties is recommended at this stage of the process. The College has an obligation to educate and inform its staff and students about Copyright and the College’s Copyright Procedure.

An informal discussion or information sharing session with the respondent may be all that is needed to resolve the complaint dependent on the severity of the infraction.

This discussion will serve as an informal notice or warning of the complaint to deter the respondent from repeating the offence again in the future.

The Director, LRCs, will prepare and keep a written summary of the Step 2 process.

This step will be skipped if the respondent has offended in the past.
STEP 3

In the event informal discussion with the complainant does not lead to resolution of the complaint, and the abuse of copyright continues, a more formal process is required.

As soon as possible after completing Step 2, the Director, or designate, in concert with the immediate supervisor (employee) or Program Co-ordinator (student), will contact the respondent and give the respondent a copy of the documented complaint.

If the complaint is resolved at any stage in the process or the College determines that no further action is required, the Director may terminate the complaint procedure. To record the termination of the complaint procedure, the Director will: facilitate the signing of a resolution statement/agreement by both parties, and give copies to the complainant and the respondent. The Director will keep the resolution statement/agreement on file for three years.
STEP 4

The Director will request adjudication by a College Adjudication Panel (Panel) if resolution steps 2 and 3 have not resulted in a resolution of the complaint.

After reviewing the process thus far, the appropriate Vice President (Information Services and Educational Resources, in the case of staff, and the VP Academic, in the case of students), or designate will establish adjudication by a College Adjudication Panel if resolution steps 2 and 3 have not resulted in a resolution of the complaint, and will appoint a chair. In these cases, the Panel may be asked to recommend immediate and long-term action to avoid further non-compliance of copyright.

The Adjudication Panel will convene within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the recommendation of the Director. Extensions to this time line will be considered under extenuating circumstances.

The Vice President or designate will select three individuals to form a Panel; one from the College, one from the respondent’s constituent group and one College designee as Chair.

The role of the Panel is to formally adjudicate a resolution to the complaint. The Panel will have access to all information available concerning the case subject to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act if applicable.

Fourteen calendar days before the hearing, the Chair will advise that statements are required from the complainant(s) and respondent(s) summarizing their positions, their perceptions of the essential issues of the case, the resolution outcome each desires, and any witnesses or special evidence they wish the Panel to hear or consider.

The Chair or designate will communicate any information regarding the scheduling of the Panel and the adjudication process to the complainant and the respondent.

One person of his/her choice, other than a witness may accompany the respondent when meeting with the Adjudication Panel. The respondent is responsible for arranging his/her own support persons.

The Chair of the Panel will prepare a list of witnesses and will inform witnesses, the respondent and panel members, on the list of the adjudication process, the schedule and, generally, the role of witnesses at an Adjudication Panel hearing.

Except for the attendance of persons directed involved in the Panel, all proceedings are closed. Witnesses will not be permitted in the room until their testimony is needed. They will leave the proceedings after their testimony is completed.

During the Panel meeting, the Chair will

* facilitate the adjudication process,
* call upon the Director, LRCs to give a full report on his/her investigation,
* ask the complainant and respondent to make their statements verbally,
* ask any witnesses to speak,
* consider pertinent documents and witness statements,
* and facilitate discussion among the Panel members.

The Panel will make the final recommendation to the Vice President with respect to whether a violation of behaviour proscribed by the Copyright Procedure has occurred. The standard of proof will be a balance of probabilities. If the decision of the Panel is not unanimous, the decision of the Chair will prevail.

The Chair, with input from the panel, recommends a resolution outcome for the complaint, resolution processes, and any sanctions or remedies.

The Chair will prepare a resolution report to summarize the facts of the case, the panel’s findings and the final decision. The report will be sent, within 5 working days, to the Vice President responsible for ensuring the enforcement of the outcome. The Chair will inform the complainant and the respondent of the final decision within working 5 days. If sanctions are to be applied, the complainant will not be given the specific details.
STEP 5

Respondents and complainants may only appeal a final decision if either party identified procedural mistakes that fundamentally affected the final decision.

Respondents and complainants have 15 calendar days from receipt of the Chair’s written decision to appeal alleged procedural mistakes.

Appeals will be made in writing to the President.

The President or designee within 20 calendar days of receiving the appellant’s request will inform the appellant in writing of the appeal outcome.

The appeal decision is final and will be implemented by the College.
