The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada's comments on proposed changes in Canadian copyright law, and further changes implied by or caused by those revisions, are presented. The association argues first that since the proposed revisions are being revealed in stages, legislative committee work should be suspended until all of the planned revisions are made known. Further, it comments on the negative impact on education and scholarship that can be foreseen in certain revisions already proposed, including the general costs of and restrictions on information dissemination imposed by the new regulations and the specific regulation of the right to public exhibit, moral rights of the creator, protection of computer programs, use of a work to the prejudice of the author, and four issues affecting collective copyrights: fair use, a registration system, copyright societies, and the proposed mechanism for licensing creations. Some assumptions underlying the proposed revisions are questioned, particularly concerning the comparability of creations in the college and university community with those in other aspects of society. Some regulatory recommendations are made. (MSE)
