    Obviously they haven’t heard of fair-use laws. Or parodies for that matter. I hear Weird Al gives an excellent introduction to the issue.

    *ahem*

    CBC: could I please direct your attention to number 2b at [ link ]

    A second point I’d like to make is: why is CBC allowed to own copyright? They’re a government run network!

    We don\t have \”fair use\” laws. Ye
    My understanding is that we\’re still stuck in \”fair dealing\” doctrine.
