Outline on Copyright deal crucial for students

Body

University President Roseann Runte says the school has not make a decision yet, but it has legal advice.

Carleton's good job with access to copyright could change.

"Fair dealing"

Carleton adopted a new policy of "fair dealing"

Shifts in the digital landscape have changed how material is accessed and used on campuses.

Contrast: students would be protected for posting a hyperlink to a digit-al copy.

Disadvantages of the deal.

Comparison between the old agreement and the new model licence.

Michael Geist's opinion.

Drastic changes to Canada's Copyright Act.

Critics: 1. If it is rejected the legal consequences are low. 2. It is not fair that students pay for rights that are covered.

Deal:1. Authors paid fairly for their textes. 2. Universities protected of costly infringement lawsuits.

Both universities ponder the deal, which was presented during a strike between the AUCC and the non-profit licensor Access Copyright.

Conclusion

Thesis statement: Universities have until the end of the month to decide whether to reach an agreement with Access Copyright or not.

Paul Davidson express it is good to sign it.

On the other hand, Geist thinks Paul is letting all the responsibility to students.

York University, the University of British Columbia and the UBC have opted out of the deal, as have sever-al smaller schools.

≠ Five other schools had signed agreements with Access Copyright, including the University of Toronto.

Carleton and the University of Ottawa are not the only ones making decisions about the deal.

Introduction

Critics think it would mark a step backwards.

Thesis statement: the Carleton University and the University of Otawa have not decided whether to sign the new copyright agreement or not.
