This webinar (65 minutes), organized by the EIFL Copyright and Libraries Programme, featured three concepts commonly found in copyright laws around the world - fair use, fair dealing and fair practice. Often debated and sometimes misunderstood, the webinar described the origins and key characteristics of each concept of ‘fairness’, highlighted some countries that have these provisions in their copyright laws, and how libraries can benefit from such open, flexible exceptions.

It also featured an extended Q&A that included questions on cross-border uses of protected material, controlled digital lending, contract override and strategies for the application of fair dealing by libraries.
