The DMCA is a U.S. law, but Canadians feel its sting. 🇨🇦 Creators lose content, fair dealing gets ignored, and even fixing your own tech can be blocked. We didn’t vote for it, but we live under it. #cdnpoli #DMCA #FairDealing #DigitalSovereignty

A few years ago, music YouTuber @12tone.nebula.tv posted a long & detailed Twitter thread explaining how the YouTube copyright system works and how to navigate claims & appeals to assert your fair-use rights.

They were kind enough to dig it up for me, so I figured I’d link it here for posterity.

Huge Win for Copyright User Rights in Canada: Federal Court Rules Digital Lock Rules Do Not Trump Fair Dealing - Michael Geist The Federal Court has issued a landmark decision (Blacklock’s Reports v. Attorney General of Canada) on copyright’s anti-circumvention rules which concludes that digital locks should not trump fair dealing. Rather, the two must co-exist in harmony, leading to an interpretation that users can still rely on fair dealing even in cases involving those digital locks. The decision could have enormous implications for libraries, education, and users more broadly as it seeks to restore the copyright balance in the digital world. The decision also importantly concludes that merely requiring a password does not meet the standard needed to qualify for copyright rules involving technological protection measures. If this all sounds technical, this post provides the necessary background and then reviews the decision.
