I am going to give you a warning and I will be going after those that created illegal recordings of my presentation and illegal transcripts,. You should know under Canadian law it is illegal to advise others to break the law. Because you have deceptively quoted me out of context on multiple occasions and described me as a “bigot” I will not engage you in debate on the subject, but I will engage you legally if you continue to advocate for the violation of Canadian law:
“A public space once rented becomes a private space, thus terms are set by the person/party renting the space. Regardless of public or private, derivative works such as recording and transcripts are illegal under Canadian copyright law. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.”
“the author or creator of a work is the initial owner of the copyright (s.13(1)), and copyright exists immediately upon the creation of the work. If you are the owner of the copyright in a work, then there are certain things that no one else can do with that work, unless you explicitly permit it. These include printing, reproducing, publishing, communicating, performing, transcribing, or transmitting the work or any substantial portion of the work.”
“ Literary copyright — These are works consisting of text, including books, pamphlets, lectures (address, speech, sermon, etc.), tables and translations. Computer programs are also included in this category.”
“A lecture/presentation is the presenter’s intellectual property. You must get permission to record a lecture or presentation from the presenter.
Any material (e.g. lecture notes, PowerPoints, syllabus, including an authorized recording of a lecture) is solely for research and private study only. These materials must not be posted online or shared with others without permission”
“Permission is always required when the work is being revised, adapted, or translated [transcriptions included] regardless if the purpose of the reproduction is for personal or public non-commercial distribution.”
— Government of Canada, Canadian Intellectual Property Office and the University of Victoria Copyright Office
“Creating a transcript of a talk would indeed infringe on copyright. While, facts are not copyrightable, compilations of facts *are* copyrightable if the compilation is sufficiently original.”
