Canadian copyright reform movement referencing our Fair Use codes

As the Canadian government addresses copyright reform, the U.S. Fair Use movement is providing an important example. The latest evidence: Face to Face Media, a Canadian media advocacy organization, is citing the Fair Use codes facilitated by the Center for Social Media and the Washington College of Law in the reform process. Its recent publication "Creating Copyright Legislation that Supports Media Literacy" outlines the current limitations and hindrances within the Canadian law regarding education and copyright. It praises the Fair Use doctrine as well as codes of best practices for doc filmmakers and media literacy, which help citizens understand their rights.
