The Principles Behind the Bill
The rights of those who hold copyright must be balanced with the needsof users to access copyright works.
The Copyright Act must provide clear, predictable and fair rules to allowCanadians to derive benefits from their creations.
The Copyright Act should foster innovation in an effort to attract
investment and high-paying jobs to Canada. Canada must ensure that its copyright framework for the Internet is in
line with international standards.

The Pre-amble Stated the Bills Objectives to create clear, predictable and fair rules
to support creativity and innovation;
to address opportunities and challengesthat are global in scope for the creationand use of works;
to adopt coordinated approaches tocopyright protection based on
internationally recognized norms; to enhance copyright protection by
adopting the norms set out in the WCT andWPPT;
to provide rights holders with recognition,remuneration and the ability to asserttheir rights.
to enhance users access tocopyright works or other subject-matter;
to enhance the protection of copyright through the recognitionof technological measures andother measures, in a manner thatpromotes culture and innovation,competition and investment in theCanadian economy; and
to bolster Canadas ability toparticipate in a knowledgeeconomy driven by innovation andnetwork connectivity fostered byencouraging the use of digitaltechnologies for research andeducation.

1. Safe Harbors for ISPs
Bill C-61 introduced four safe harbors for ISPs:1. A network services exception (ss. 31.1(1))
2. A caching exception (ss. 31.1(2))
3. A hosting services exception (ss. 31.1(4))
4. An exception for information location tools (search engines)(ss. 41.27)

81. Safe Harbour for ISPs #1:Network Services Exception ss. 31.1(1)
This subsection is intended to provide protectionto intermediaries who act as conduits in relationto the Internet:
A person who, in providing services related tothe operation of the Internet or another digitalnetwork , provides any means for thetelecommunication or the reproduction of awork or other subject-matter through theInternet or that other network does not, solelyby reason of providing those means, infringecopyright in that work or other subject-matter.

91. Safe Harbour for ISPs #1:Network Services Exception ss. 31.1(1)
The proposed exception is not limited to traditional functions performed bypure ISPs.
Internet or another digital network covers a broad range of technologies.
The phrase providing services could include providing routing services aswell as other telecommunication services (uploading, downloading,
encoding or transcoding, streaming, transmitting etc.) of content. The phrase any means for the telecommunication or the reproduction of a
work is very broad. It would include routers and hardware and allsoftware connection equipment, connectivity services, hosting and otherfacilities and services without which such communications or
reproductions would not occur. SOCAN v CAIP [2004] 2 S.C.R. 427 (Tariff 22) at para. 92 This could include a broad spectrum of activities that facilitatetransmissions of content.
How does it compare to international standards?

101. Safe Harbour for ISPs #2:Caching Exception ss. 31.1(2)
Subsections 31.1(2) seeks to expand upon the scope of the networkservices exemption by including the act of caching where necessary tomake a telecommunication more efficient:
(2) Subject to subsection (3), a personreferred to in subsection (1) who caches
the work or other subject-matter tomake the telecommunication moreefficient does not, by virtue of that actalone, infringe copyright in the work orother subject-matter.
-
8/14/2019 ITAC.bill C61 Presentation
11/53
111. Safe Harbour for ISPs #2:Caching Exception ss. 31.1(2)
The 3 conditions in ss. 31.1(3):
(3) Subsection (2) does not apply unless the person, in respect of thework or other subject matter,
(a) does not modify it;
(b) ensures that any directions related to its caching that areestablished by whoever made it available for telecommunicationthrough the Internet or another digital network, and that lendthemselves to automated reading and execution, are read andexecuted, and
(c) does not interfere with the lawful use of technology to obtain
data on its use.

The exception is not limited to ISPs. It could apply to all of the entities towhich the network services exception applies to enable them to cache fornetwork efficiency purposes.
This could enable entities that transmit digital content to make and storecopies of a work in server (a cache memory) as an element of theirinfrastructure (any means for the telecommunication or thereproduction of a work) to make transmissions of works more efficient.
These service providers would need to follow the qualifying conditions tofall within the exception.

131. Safe Harbour for ISPs #3:Hosting Exception ss. 31.1(4)
ss. 31.1(4) is intended to provide an exception for providers of hostingservices:
(4) Subject to subsection (5), a person who, for thepurpose of allowing the telecommunication of a work orother subject-matter through the Internet or anotherdigital network , provides digital memory in which
another person stores the work or other subject-matterdoes not, by virtue of that act alone, infringe copyrightin the work or other subject-matter.
(5) Subsection (4) does not apply in respect of a work or other subject-matter if the person providing the digitalmemory knows of a decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to the effect that the person who has storedthe work or other subject-matter in the digital memoryinfringes copyright by making the copy of the work or other subject-matter that is stored or by the way in whichhe or she uses the work or other subject-matter.

The proposed exception is not limited to ISPs or other Internetintermediaries that host websites at the request of subscribers.
The exception applies to any person who provides other entities withdigital memory for the purpose of allowing the telecommunication of awork or other subject-matter through the Internet or another digital
network. The exception applies even if the ISP has actual or constructive notice of
infringement and takes no steps to remove or disable access to thematerial (except a court order).
The exception could immunize any person that makes available any type ofnetworked connected PC, server or online site (all digital memories) forthird parties to store and make available files for file sharing purposes.

151. Safe Harbour for ISPs #4:Information Location Tools ss. 41.27(1)
ss. 41.27(1) is intended to provide the operators of information locationtools with immunity against any remedy other than injunctions:
(1) In any proceedings for infringement ofcopyright, the owner of the copyright in a workor other subject-matter is not entitled, againsta provider of an information location tool whomakes a reproduction of the work or othersubject-matter or communicates thatreproduction to the public bytelecommunication, to any remedy other than
an injunction.

161. Safe Harbour for ISPs #4:Information Location Tools ss. 41.27(1)
41.27(2): Subsection (1) applies only if the provider:
(a) makes and caches the reproduction in an automated manner;
(b) communicates that reproduction to the public by telecommunication for thepurpose of providing the information;
(c) does not modify the reproduction;
(d) complies with any conditions relating to the making or caching of reproductionsof the work or other subject-matter;
(e) does not interfere with the lawful use of technology to obtain data on the use ofthe work or other subject-matter; and
(f) has not received a notice of claimed infringement relating to the work.
ss. 41.27(3) gives a very broad definition of information location tool as any toolthat makes it possible to locate information that is available through the Internet oranother digital network.

17/53
17Safe Harbour for ISPs #4:Information Location Tools ss. 41.27(1) The proposed exception would apply to any entity that makes it
possible to locate information that is available through the Internet oranother digital network.
The exception would permit caching, making of reproductions, andcommunications to the public with virtually no restrictions as to suchactivities.
Simply being a provider of some searching or indexing capability couldenable that person to create a database and copies of copyrightedmaterials and transmit them to the public.

Circumvention of Technological Measures
Objective: In a digital environment, reproductions are easily made anddisseminated. Copyright regimes must provide rights holders with theability to seek remuneration from uses of their works and to authorizeuses that serve their interests. TMs are a mechanism to achieve thisimportant copyright objective. The bill would make it illegal tocircumvent or bypass technologies that control access to protectedmaterial. It would also become illegal to provide, market or import toolsdesigned to enable circumvention.

3. Technological Protection Measures (TPMs)
Prevent hacking into hardware devices andsoftware to copy or gain access to works
Common TPM devices include FairPlay (iTunes,iPod), Adobe Protected Screening, ContentScrambling System or CSS (DVDs).
Note, the Bill only applies to TPMs that protectaccess or copying of a work (or other subjectmatter) protected by the Copyright Act. It doesnot apply to all TPMs.

More Exceptions Bill C-61 contains a provision which enables the government to enact a
regulation if the government considers that a TPM or class of TPMwould unduly a restrict competition in the aftermarket sector in whichthe TPMs are used. This section is meant to address the Lexmark andChaimberlain cases in the United States. s.41.2(1)
The Bill also permits the addition of classes of exceptions. The criteria
for creating exceptions to the circumvention prohibitions are liberal.There are no governing overriding principle to apply the enumeratedfactors in the subsection. The list of factors resemble the fair dealingexceptions and bring in a fair dealing type argument with respect toproposed exceptions. s.42.2(2)

4. Making Available Right
Bill C-61 defines a new right for copyright holders: the "making available"right
This new right for sound recording makers would reserve for them theexclusive right to put their work in a place where it will be available tothe public via telecommunications
As a result, anyone who is not the copyright holder who "makesavailable," without permission, another's copyrighted work would beliable for copyright infringement
Canadian law is not as clear when it comes to making available rightsfor non-sound recordings. There is no explicit making available right forworks.
How can the right be implemented?

a) The individual must receive the recording program legally
b) The individual does not illegally circumvent a TPM in order to recordthe program
c) The individual does not make more than one copy
d) The individual keeps the recording no longer than necessary to in orderto listen to or watch the program at a more convenient time. (i.e. youcan save it for the weekend, but you cant make your own box set!!)
e) The individual does not give the recording away
f) The recording is used only for private purposes

2. Consumer Exception #1: Time Shifting
ss.29.23(3) states the exception does not apply tothe recording of a program that is communicatedover the Internet, unless it is communicatedsimultaneously via radio or television.
ss.29.23(5) specifies that nothing in the timeshifting exception authorises the recording ofprograms under a network personal video recordingdevice.
This term is defined as a service that allows aperson to store recordings of programs in a serviceprovider as a network facility in order to access
them at a later time A contract made with a video-on-demand provider
will prevail in cases of conflict between theprovider and this exception.

2. Consumer Exception #2: Format Shifting ss.29.21(1) would permit an individual to reproduce a work or other subject matter that is
a photograph or is contained in a book, newspaper, periodical or video cassette ontoanother medium or device.
The Governments intent was to restrict this exception to analog films and not digitalmedia or DVDs.
The format shifting exception also contains similar conditions as the time shiftingexception:
(a) the copy of the work of which the reproduction is made is not an infringing copy;(b) the individual legally obtained the work, otherwise than by borrowing it or
renting it, and owns the medium or device on which it is reproduced;
(c) the individual did not circumvent a TPM or cause one to be circumvented,
(d) the individual reproduces the work no more than once for each device that theindividual owns, whether the reproduction is made directly onto the device or ismade onto a medium that is to be used with the device, and
(e) the individual does not give the reproduction away; and
(f) the reproduction is used only for private purposes.
