APPENDIX A1 SUMMARY OF COPYRIGHT ACT BENEFITS AND BURDENS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CONSORTIUM

A.

THE CROWN HAS HISTORICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE APPLICABILITY OF THE COPYRIGHT ACT TO IT AND RESPECTED THE BURDENS THAT ACCOMPANY RIGHTS THERETO. Members of the Consortium have policies requiring they respect copyright and/or have never before written to any rights holder claiming the Copyright Act does not apply to them. Alberta: Alberta has not written to any rightsholder claiming that the Copyright Act or Trademarks Act does not apply to it (Statement of Agreed Facts (SAF) at para. 36), nor has it directed its employees that permission to use or copy Published Works is not required (SAF at para. 38). Some Sub-units of Alberta have a policy or policies regarding the use, Copying, performance, publishing, conversion, adaptation, communication to the public by telecommunication or licensing of non-Government Published Works (SAF at para. 37). Manitoba: Manitoba has not written to any rightsholders claiming that the Copyright Act or Trademarks Act does not apply to it (SAF at para. 52), nor does it direct its employees that permission to use or copy Published Works is not required (SAF at para. 54). o In fact, Manitoba's internal website, in policy approved and posted since July 2005, directs departments to obtain written permission from the copyright holder before placing copyrighted content on a departmental website (SAF at para. 52; Manitoba Appendix 22). 53). In addition, some departments of Manitoba have explicit policies requiring that third parties copyrights be respected. (SAF at para.

All facts are drawn from the Statement of Agreed Facts (SAF) and/or the appendices included therein, including the provincial and Access Copyright appendices (e.g., Manitoba Appendix 1; and Access Copyright Appendix 1 (AC-1)) which was filed with the Copyright Board on February 28, 2011. The meaning of terms referenced herein are as defined in the SAF. 2 Providing: Departmental websites that may include content copyrighted by another party, must get written permission to do so from the copyright holder. Failure to get permission is a violation of the federal Copyright Act.

40281788.4

Additionally, Manitoba Education Copyright Practices provide: As copyright protection exists automatically on creation of an original work, Manitoba Education makes every effort to comply with copyright law and with copyright tariffs (see Access Copyright Elementary and Secondary School Tariff, 2005 2009) when using copyrighted work. The Department makes every effort to avoid infringement of the right to produce, reproduce, adapt, translate, duplicate, perform, or otherwise distribute copyrighted work. The Practices further advise that [i]f applicable copyright permission is not obtained, copyright owners who are dissatisfied, for example, with the presentation and bibliographic citation of their copyrighted material, can initiate legal action [against the Department]. (Manitoba Appendix 2).

Manitobas Department of Energy, Innovation, and Mines advises that: It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of obtaining permission from the holder of copyright before using illustrations or even lengthy quotations. Giving credit to the copyright owner or the author does not constitute license to reproduce material without written permission. (Grant, 2003). Although it is legal to reword information without having to seek copyright permission (but ethical to credit the source), it is neither ethical nor legal to make a few minor changes to an illustration in order to avoid obtaining permission. [emphasis added] (Manitoba Appendix 2).

New Brunswick: New Brunswick has not written to any rightsholders claiming that the Copyright Act or Trademarks Act does not apply to it (SAF at para. 66), nor does it direct its employees that permission to copy Published Works is not required (SAF at para. 78). There is no government-wide policy in New Brunswick regarding the use, copying, etc. of non-government Published Works, but three of the 22 New Brunswick Sub-units (the Department of Education, Department of Supply and Services and Department of Natural Resources) have a policy (SAF at para. 67; New Brunswick Appendix 11). In particular, the Department of Education respects copyright agreements and Canadian copyright laws (SAF at para. 67). Also, the Information Services and Systems branch of the Department of Nature Resources states it is the policy of the Department of Nature Resources that employees must comply with federal and provincial laws, and respect the legal protection provided by copyright and license to data.

If copyright is on the material, we require the client to seek written permission from the author or agency to reproduce before we will accept the work request [] digital production staff are also instructed not to reproduce electronic documents which have copyright protection. o The policy predates the current assuming the role of manager in 2004. The manager, Mike Fagan, has verbally communicated the policy to all staff and his office screens all printing requests and advises clients if copyright permission is required, (AC-14). Saskatchewan: Saskatchewan has not written to any rightsholders claiming that the Copyright Act or Trademarks Act does not apply to it (SAF at para. 149), nor does it direct its employees that permission to Copy Published Works is not required (SAF at para. 151).

The Education Department reports that it abides by the Access Copyright Elementary and Secondary School Tariff, 2005-2009 with respect to copying (SAF at para. 150). 2. Members of the Consortium have already entered into copyright licensing agreements with Access Copyright (AC). AC has previously entered into license agreements with the Government of Canada as well as the Governments of the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario (SAF at para. 15).

Alberta: Some of the Sub-units of Alberta have asserted Crown copyright over some of their own Published Works at times from 2005 to the present (SAF at para. 29). Manitoba: Manitoba generally asserts Crown copyright over all work that is produced by or on behalf of Manitoba, including work that is prepared and delivered under contract

40281788.4

with Manitoba. For example, contribution agreements used by the Civil Service Commission (Organization and Staff Development) provide that copyright in the information and deliverables etc. discovered or produced under the contract by the contractor will be the exclusive property of Manitoba and the contractor may not use, publish or disclose the work without prior written permission of Manitoba. Labour and Immigration has contribution agreements for projects funded under the Manitoba Immigrant Integration Program and Manitoba Immigration Portal, and delivered by service providers: some specify that where the contractor produces any work under the contribution agreement, the copyright and all other intellectual property rights are the exclusive property of Manitoba; others specify that the copyright and all other intellectual property rights are the exclusive property of the service provider and the service provider grants a royalty free license to Manitoba to use and copy the work without restriction (SAF at para. 42).

While generally Manitoba does not print the copyright mark on its print publications, this is sometimes done and is sometimes required of others who produce work on behalf of Manitoba (SAF at paras. 43, 46). New Brunswick: New Brunswick asserts copyright over material on its websites. The general disclaimer for information on New Brunswick websites is CNBs general statement regarding the proper use of information and materials provided through the GNB website: www.gnb.ca/include/rootlinclude/disclaimer-e.asp; www.gnb.ca/include/rootlinclude/disclaimer-f.asp.

Nova Scotia: A small number of Sub-units charge fees for the use or reproduction of government material or works. Sometimes, the fees charged are based on the cost to NS of producing or reproducing the work, rather than for the right of reproduction. The following Sub-units charge fees for use or reproduction of NS works, as follows: o The Department of Justice has an agreement with Quicklaw/LexisNexis whereby it receives a discount of $4,900.00 annually on its subscriptions to the Quicklaw/LexisNexis legal research databases in consideration for granting a license to Quicklaw/LexisNexis to use the unofficial consolidated version of the regulations of the Province of Nova Scotia; o The Nova Scotia Geomatics Center (a division of the Department of Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations) sells geographic information products and services based on a retail price list; and o The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Museum maintain a price list that includes a reproduction use fee for certain works in their collections (SAF at para. 103) Nunavut: The GN does not charge fees for the Copying of its works (SAF at para. 116).

40281788.4

11

Prince Edward Island: PEI does not charge fees for the use by the public of Crown copyright materials (SAF at para. 130). Any charges by a Sub-unit for the reproduction of its materials or works are cost recovery charges for the cost to PEI of reproducing the work itself, not for a right OF reproduction. Two of the Sub-units of PEI license the use, Copying, performance, publishing, conversion, adaptation, communication to the public by telecommunication and/or licensing of PEIs works on a no-fee basis (SAF at para. 131). As an example, the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development requires its permission be given on a no-fee basis for any use of its Curriculum Resources. Also, the Department of Energy, Environment and Forestry requires any outside users of its GIS service to enter into license agreements, specifically, the Digital Geographic Distribution Agreement, prior to distributing digital data (Prince Edward Island Appendix 3).

Saskatchewan: Saskatchewan charges fees for the use, Copying, performance, publishing, conversion, adaptation, communication to the public by telecommunication and/or licensing of its works. One Sub-unit, the Department of Justice, has agreements for use of Saskatchewan statutes and regulations, for which it charges royalties (SAF at para. 143; AC-15).

4.

Members of the Consortium have enforced Crown copyright and other intellectual property rights Alberta: Some of the Sub-units of Alberta enforce Crown copyright and other intellectual property rights.

40281788.4

12

New Brunswick: Generally, enforcement of copyright and other intellectual property rights is carried out by requiring potential users to require permission to use or reproduce a copyright or intellectual property, or by entering into an agreement. Justice and Consumer Affairs has draft court orders that could be used to enforce copyright and other intellectual property rights where necessary (SAF at para. 65).

Newfoundland and Labrador: NL enforces Crown copyright and other intellectual property rights (SAF at para. 79).

Nova Scotia: Since 2005, NS has made the following objections in respect of the use of government materials or works: o On January 11, 2008, Communications Nova Scotia sent a letter to a stock photography and stock footage website requesting that it remove official images of the Nova Scotia Coat of Arms, Flag and Logo (Nova Scotia Appendix 5); o On April 7, 2009, the Department of Finance sent a notice of copyright infringement to Google, Inc. in respect of the use of a picture of the Deputy Minister of Finance that was copied from the Department of Finance website and used with commentary on http://hawkeyenews.blogspot.com (Nova Scotia Appendix 6); o (c) The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia purchased the collection of the famous Nova Scotian folk artist, Maud Lewis, from the Painted House Society (who had purchased it from the Estate of Maud Lewis) and in July 2007 objected to the sale on ebay of unauthorized reproductions of Maud Lewis' work, Three Black Cats (Nova Scotia Appendix 7); and o (d) Service NS Municipal Relations has requested that private industry (e.g. Express Legal) remove the NS logo and references to NS Vital Statistics provincial services from their ads, brochures etc. (Nova Scotia Appendix 6(B)) (SAF at para. 107).

Nunavut: The GN may assert the right to control the reproduction of certain intellectual properties that are produced by or on behalf of the GN, including work that is prepared and delivered under contract with the GN. When asked, the GN typically grants the

40281788.4

13

contractors a royalty-free license over the intellectual properties. However, the GN has no enterprise-wide copyright monitoring or management regime to monitor the circumstances when copyright has been asserted or when a royalty-free licence has been granted (SAF at para. 119; Nunavut Appendix 4). The GN does not enforce Crown copyright and other intellectual property rights. One department, Education, has consented to use of copyrighted materials in many, but not all, cases when permission has been requested. Education does not actively enforce its copyright (SAF at para. 121). Prince Edward Island: PEl would enforce Crown copyright over its Published Works if the need arose (SAF at para. 134).
