Thanks for keeping this a mature conversation.

The AUCC believes that faculty members or students can make a copy of parts of a book or other complete works under fair dealing. No hard or fast rules are available in Canadian law but a rough indicator would be 10% of a complete work. The AUCC also maintains that fair dealing applies not just to photocopying but also to other methods of reproduction – including the making of copies onto slides, microfiche or transparencies. For multiple copies and for copying in excess of the extent mentioned above, AUCC recommends acquiring licences from Access © , the Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency, one of the copyight licensing societies or copyright collectives in Canada.

What they do sure hurts their business though, case in point:
I was at Wally World the other day, saw Fatboy Slim's new cd. "Sweet, I've been wanting that!"
On the label it says something like "copy-protection technology. This cd may not work in some cd players, such as car cd players."
So back on the shelf it went, no sale. Not because I wanted to pirate it, but because it said it probably wouldn't work in my van. So I downloaded it when I got home that night, burned, and it works in my van. So FS's record label not only lost the sale to me, they even "pushed" me into downloading a pirated copy.
That's smart sales tactics eh?

GrizZz I thought you said you were gonna get it at Wally World not FS [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
That's ridiculous though why would they be that stupid, half of society if not more will not buy something they cannot listen to in their vehicle. Personally I think 90% of music listeners listen to their music in their car.
The industry itself is gonna hurt by this. I think I actually have a cd that doesn't work in one of my cd players but it didn't have a label like that. This personally I think would only push people to go download it instead more than to purchase it.

What the 'AUCC believes' are general guidlines to curb copyright infringment...
I can still walk into a library and photocopy ever single page out of any book I want... if the librarian says something, fine, if she calls the cops, fine..... BUT THEY HAVE TO PROVE YOU ARE SELLING IT BEFORE YOU CAN BE FOUND GUILTY OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGMENT....
