Three cheers for Laura Murray, speaking at the copyright consultations: "t will be very important for those concerned about users' rights to convince the government of the principle of users' rights: cheap fair dealing is not fair dealing. Fair dealing is a deep part of copyright DNA and the established practice of creative communities. It enables freedom of expression, research, and innovation. It is not for sale. Furthermore, licensing everything that walks will put Canada at a competitive disadvantage to its trading partners. Licensing can certainly be useful, but only in conjunction with fair dealing, never as its replacement."
