Canadian copyright term extension on hold

[George J. Dance]

Copyright term extension agreed to in USMCA trade pact omitted from Canadian government's enabling legislation.

May 30, 2019 - The Canadian government tabled Bill C-100 yesterday, the bill to implement the Canada-US-Mexico Trade Agreement.... [K]ey provisions ... include new criminal provisions on trade secrets and tampering with rights management information. The bill also features several provisions related to copyright term but notably does not touch the current general copyright term of life of the author plus an additional 50 years. There are several new terms included in the bill with extensions for anonymous works, performances in sound recordings, sound recordings, and cinematographic works. The bill expressly states that none of the extensions are retroactive which means that the works that are currently in the public domain will remain there even after the new terms are established.

Yet the big story is that Section 6 of the Copyright Act, which states that the general term of copyright is life of the author plus 50 years, remains unchanged despite a USMCA requirement of life plus 70 years. Why unchanged?

I am advised that the reason is that the Canadian government negotiated a 2 1/2 year transition period for the USMCA and it intends to use the time to consult with the public on the best way to meet the copyright term obligation. That holds the promise of the making the best of a bad situation given that few (other than the embarrassingly one-sided Heritage committee study) think that extending the term of copyright benefits Canadians.

For example, there has been some thought given to establishing a registration requirement for the additional 20 years. That approach would allow rights holders that want the extension to get it, while ensuring that many other works enter the public domain at the international standard of life plus 50 years. By providing for life plus 50 and the option for an additional 20 years, Canadian law would be consistent with Berne Convention formalities requirements and with its new trade treaty obligations. Copyright registration would not eliminate all the harm to the public domain, but it would mean that only those that desire the extension would take the positive steps to get it, thereby reducing the costs of the USMCA’s unnecessary copyright term extension.

Thanks, I missed this one earlier.

It's not a victory, at this point; there'll still be hearings, and eventually the act will be changed.

I've been thinking the best idea is to copy the language from the U.S. law, changing the year from "1978" to "2020":

"Copyright in a work created on or after January 1, 1978, subsists from its creation and, except as provided by the following subsections, endures for a term consisting of the life of the author and 70 years after the author’s death."

It wasn't meant to be a tit for tat. Normally I enjoy his Socratic method of questioning, as it gives me a chance to think and write some more about a topic. The one above, though, was asked at 5:42 am, when I wouldn't have had time to give him the answer he wanted, as I have to leave for work around that time - I might have even left by then, and not even seen the question, as I don't remember it. When I noticed it I still didn't have time for a proper reply, but I didn't want it to just sit here in the thread as an unanswered question.

I still don't think I have enough time to do your question justice, but it is time to get my thoughts down. I'll write you a long reply because I don't have time do a short one. If you have further questions, I'd ask you to take Zod's advice and read my earlier stuff on the subject, too (particularly my January 1 article on "public domain day" too.

"Victory" would be simply preserving the public domain as is, without any new barriers keeping works out of it. Since I don't think it's possible or even wise to derail the treaty over it, I think the only possible victory is one that technically respects the treaty's language, but causes the least harm to the p.d. - certainly less harm than the UK or U.S. inflicted on theirs when they extended their copyrights.

Why is that important? Philosophically, I believe in the possibility, actuality, and desirability of human progress - and I think a public domain (the body of human knowledge that we're all able to access without restriction) is something on which that progress depends.

I've tried to do my part in that, in the poetry field mostly, by making poems accessible on PPB, letting people experience works of art for the first time. One thing that lets me do that much better is that 20-year window we have in Canada with that shorter term - I can give readers poems by people from Yvor Winters to Dylan Thomas to Walter de la Mare to Dorothy Parker (and on and on) that an American or European blogger couldn't do legally. I want to keep that legal, because letting it be criminalized would make the blog much poorer, or at least much harder; clearly negative in any case.

One has to be careful with someone using the Socratic method, of course: the idea is to ask leading questions, to get the other person to state or agree with one's point of view (the /Meno/ being a paradigm example). However, I got the idea from the above that he really has an open mind and just wants to know why I think it's an issue worth investing time in.

[Hieronymous Corey]

In response to your comment, and to be perfectly clear,
I most certainly do NOT have an open mind. My mind is
decidedly closed on most if not all matters about which
I've had to think and decide something, and I've had to
make some very important decisions in my time. I am
who I am, think what I think, and I've thought like this
for quite a while. I'm comfortable, and not likely to change
my thinking much, if at all, ever, about anything. That said,
I am genuinely interested in why you think it's an issue worth
investing in. I wouldn't ask otherwise. That's just how I am.

Do you have an open mind on the question of copyright term, or have you decided on it? The former how I interpreted your questions: that you'd like more information, at least on others' points of view, before making a final judgement of your own. That's my only reason to give you an answer that's longer than "Yes."

Well, I am who I am, and that includes having a lot of certain beliefs. On most of those, though, I'm open to being convinced by another person's arguments. I think that there's no point in spending time on a discussion at all, if each of us weren't open to being convinced by the others' arguments.

Copyright is important to writers, so I think one should have an opinion.

There's two, of course. The Writers' Union of Canada supports the extension, because they think Canadian writers are penalized in other countries by the rule of the shorter term. (Since Canada only gives life + 50 years copyright, those countries give Canadian writers only that much.)

On the other hand, other writers besides me oppose it. Here's something from Ars Technica via my politics blog:

"And even some content creators aren't keen on ever-longer copyright terms. The [U.S.] Authors Guild, for example, 'does not support extending the copyright term, especially since many of our members benefit from having access to a thriving and substantial public domain of older works,' a Guild spokeswoman told Ars in an email. 'If anything, we would likely support a rollback to a term of life-plus-50 if it were politically feasible.'"

Yes, Hieronymous; you already told us you don't have an open mind on the subject, which implies that you have an opinion.

Well, you failed in this case. All I've got from your posts is that you have an opinion, it isn't the same as mine, and you don't want to say anything about either your opinion or mine (since you haven't). In what way do you think my reading that from you has been worth my time?

That last line really sent it to shitville. You've obviously got most of a limerick, but how it connects to some war-horse called "Union Maid" cannot be explained by we, Mankind.

There once was an Indian maid
Who said she wasn't afraid
To lie on her back
In a tumble-down shack
And wipe it all clean with Glade.

There once was an Indian maid
Who said she wasn't afraid
To lie on her back
In a tumble-down shack
strangled to death by Nick Cave.

We can go on and on this way, thanks to some racist doggerel that empowers us to create. Thanks to one funny little dusky maiden with big floppy ears, a long greasy tail, and the mischievous nature that accompanies incontinence. Our very own signifyin' monkey, and a healthy breeder, too.

I don't know what you mean by that. That's not me.
You asked my opinion. With respect to writers' rights,
"I'm a Union man, you know. Though what I know
may often show a certain existential flow, that
resenoates an afterglow ..." etc. etc. it's a poem.

That was new to me; thanks for posting it.
I can see where it's the inspiration for the Strawbs song I posted, as well as for a bit of racist doggerel about an "Indian maid" that used to circulate in schoolyards.

I don't remember that one, but there's John Keats:

I don't have a question on copyright terms. I'm just a writer.

Copyright is important to writers, so I think one should have an opinion.
There's two, of course. The Writers' Union of Canada supports the extension, because they think Canadian writers are penalized in other countries by the rule of the shorter term. (Since Canada only gives life + 50 years copyright, those countries give Canadian writers only that much.)
"And even some content creators aren't keen on ever-longer copyright terms. The [U.S.] Authors Guild, for example, 'does not support extending the copyright term, especially since many of our members benefit from having access to a thriving and substantial public domain of older works,' a Guild spokeswoman told Ars in an email. 'If anything, we would likely support a rollback to a term of life-plus-50 if it were politically feasible.'"

In response to your comment, and to be perfectly clear,
I most certainly do NOT have an open mind. My mind is
decidedly closed on most if not all matters about which
I've had to think and decide something, and I've had to
make some very important decisions in my time.

Do you have an open mind on the question of copyright term, or have you decided on it? The former how I interpreted your questions: that you'd like more information, at least on others' points of view, before making a final judgement of your own. That's my only reason to give you an answer that's longer than "Yes."

Post by Hieronymous Corey
I am
who I am, think what I think, and I've thought like this
for quite a while. I'm comfortable, and not likely to change
my thinking much, if at all, ever, about anything. That said,
I am genuinely interested in why you think it's an issue worth
investing in. I wouldn't ask otherwise. That's just how I am.

Well, I am who I am, and that includes having a lot of certain beliefs. On most of those, though, I'm open to being convinced by another person's arguments. I think that there's no point in spending time on a discussion at all, if each of us weren't open to being convinced by the others' arguments.

According to the comments, she (and Boney M) were not heard on the song.

No, you have it backwards:

""Gadda-Da-Vida" became a controversial Boney M. record since none of the original members sang on it. Because of a fall-out between producer Frank Farian and the group, he had session singers La Mama (Cathy Bartney, Patricia Shockley, and Madeleine Davis) sing the female vocals while he did the deep male vocals, as usual..."

Good morning, George. Can you explain what a 'victory' would mean, why this is important to you?

Yes.

Responding to Pastor Corey in kind sure does ruffle his feathers....

It wasn't meant to be a tit for tat. Normally I enjoy his Socratic method of questioning, as it gives me a chance to think and write some more about a topic. The one above, though, was asked at 5:42 am, when I wouldn't have had time to give him the answer he wanted, as I have to leave for work around that time - I might have even left by then, and not even seen the question, as I don't remember it. When I noticed it I still didn't have time for a proper reply, but I didn't want it to just sit here in the thread as an unanswered question.

As long as Pastor Corey has hs head out of his ass when he asks such questions, I suppose.

One has to be careful with someone using the Socratic method, of course: the idea is to ask leading questions, to get the other person to state or agree with one's point of view (the /Meno/ being a paradigm example). However, I got the idea from the above that he really has an open mind and just wants to know why I think it's an issue worth investing time in.

Pastor Corey is definitely in a foul mood today, and is already taking it out on me, so take care and good luck.

Copyright term extension agreed to in USMCA trade pact omitted from Canadian government's enabling legislation.
May 30, 2019 - The Canadian government tabled Bill C-100 yesterday, the bill to implement the Canada-US-Mexico Trade Agreement.... [K]ey provisions ... include new criminal provisions on trade secrets and tampering with rights management information. The bill also features several provisions related to copyright term but notably does not touch the current general copyright term of life of the author plus an additional 50 years. There are several new terms included in the bill with extensions for anonymous works, performances in sound recordings, sound recordings, and cinematographic works. The bill expressly states that none of the extensions are retroactive which means that the works that are currently in the public domain will remain there even after the new terms are established.
Yet the big story is that Section 6 of the Copyright Act, which states that the general term of copyright is life of the author plus 50 years, remains unchanged despite a USMCA requirement of life plus 70 years. Why unchanged?
I am advised that the reason is that the Canadian government negotiated a 2 1/2 year transition period for the USMCA and it intends to use the time to consult with the public on the best way to meet the copyright term obligation. That holds the promise of the making the best of a bad situation given that few (other than the embarrassingly one-sided Heritage committee study) think that extending the term of copyright benefits Canadians.
For example, there has been some thought given to establishing a registration requirement for the additional 20 years. That approach would allow rights holders that want the extension to get it, while ensuring that many other works enter the public domain at the international standard of life plus 50 years. By providing for life plus 50 and the option for an additional 20 years, Canadian law would be consistent with Berne Convention formalities requirements and with its new trade treaty obligations. Copyright registration would not eliminate all the harm to the public domain, but it would mean that only those that desire the extension would take the positive steps to get it, thereby reducing the costs of the USMCA’s unnecessary copyright term extension.

That holds the promise of the making the best of a bad situation given that few (other than the embarrassingly one-sided Heritage committee study) think that extending the term of copyright benefits Canadians.
For example, there has been some thought given to establishing a registration requirement for the additional 20 years. That approach would allow rights holders that want the extension to get it, while ensuring that many other works enter the public domain at the international standard of life plus 50 years. By providing for life plus 50 and the option for an additional 20 years, Canadian law would be consistent with Berne Convention formalities requirements and with its new trade treaty obligations. Copyright registration would not eliminate all the harm to the public domain, but it would mean that only those that desire the extension would take the positive steps to get it, thereby reducing the costs of the USMCA’s unnecessary copyright term extension.

Where does it lead from here...?

Because your questions are designed to smear and misrepresent.

My questions allow you to present the truth. If they smear and misrepresent you, the fault lies in your answers.

Your questions usually have no basis in reality, though.

They usually have a basis in one of your ungrammatical statements that actually mean something decidedly different than you'd intended.

Where did the "drop your trousers for the Conley brothers" one come from?
