The document discusses limitations and exceptions to copyright from the perspective of authors. It summarizes that fair dealing for purposes like research, private study, education, parody and satire does not infringe copyright. It notes concerns that expanded fair dealing policies at Canadian colleges and universities now allow copying up to 10% of works or entire chapters, stories, poems and articles, which impacts revenue traditionally obtained through collective licensing. The document questions whether this constitutes "fair dealing" from the authors' perspective.

6. Expanded fair dealing
New guidelines at many Canadian colleges and
universities claim
• up to 10% of a published work
• entire chapters,
• entire stories,
• entire poems,
• and entire articles
are free to copy for use in educational course packs.
All of this is our traditional license territory.
