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.
