CARL Webinar: Rights in the Age of Generative AI // Webinaire de l’ABRC : Les droits des utilisateurs à l’ère de l’IA générative

Title: User Rights in the Age of Generative AI

Speaker: Professor Peter K. Yu [Bio]

Date: February 25, 2026

Time: 1:00pm ET

Since the Supreme Court of Canada’s 2004 decision in CCH Canada Ltd v Law Society of Upper Canada, the global copyright landscape has changed considerably. While a number of jurisdictions have transplanted, or considered the transplantation of, a fair use or user right regime from abroad, other jurisdictions have actively introduced express copyright exceptions to support text and data mining and the creation of parodies, satires, caricatures, and pastiche works.

Copyright Office Hours

Is there something you’ve always wondered about copyright but were afraid to ask? Stop by the Libraries and chat with our Copyright Librarian! In honor of Fair Use Week, we’ll be tabling in Main Library to share copyright resources and answer any questions you might have, like “Do I own a copyright?” “Can I use this in my project?” and more. Note: The Copyright Librarian is not a lawyer and cannot provide legal advice.

Location: Northwestern Main Library Corridor/The Street

SUBCINEMA Presents THE TIMEKEEPERS OF ETERNITY

In honor of REMIX CULTURE WEEK 2026 — where we advocate for the importance of collage and appropriation in movies and art — we’re screening a new cut-up classic on VHS. Taking Stephen King’s 1995 TV-miniseries THE LANGOLIERS and printing each frame onto Xerox paper, filmmaker Aristotelis Maragkos animates a brand new, hour-long remix creature feature unlike any other. We’ll kick off the show with some select 16mm shorts projected by Flea Market Films, and make sure to join us beforehand and browse the stacks at Bottom Feeder Books.

Doors open 6:30 PM. Show starts 7:00 PM.

Location: Pittsburgh, PA
