What is fair dealing and how does it relate to copyright?

 

 

Answer

Fair dealing is an important user’s right in the Copyright Act. It permits use of a copyrighted work without permission or payment of royalties if your purpose is one of eight listed purposes including research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, or parody if what you do with the work is “fair”. 

Whether something is fair depends on the several factors. Consult the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Copyright Office's Fair Dealing page to learn more.
