GLOBAL RIGHTS UPDATES CANADA TO REVIEW ITS COPYRIGHT MODERNIZATION ACT THIS YEAR A motion has been put forward and approved in Canada’s House of Commons, launching the parliamentary review process of the country’s internationally debated 2012 Copyright Modernization Act. The news that the review has been approved will be welcome to the many who have closely watched the Copyright Modernization Act, making it the world’s most recognized emblem of controversial copyright legislation in digital times. The five-year review is called for by the 2012 legislation itself, but no announcement of its activation was made public until shortly before the holidays. In speaking to Publishing Perspectives in 2016, Nicole Saint-Jean, president of L’Association nationale des éditeurs de livres (ANEL), the French-language book publishers’ association in Canada, called the Copyright Modernization Act “nothing short of disaster” for many Canadian authors, creators, and publishers. Now, with estimated losses of revenue to publishers in the range of $50 million per year, the crisis, as Saint-Jean wrote at the time, “has proven worse than we ever imagined.” Read the full article
AT GUADALAJARA: VIEWS OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND PUBLISHING IN THE TIME OF TRUMP The efforts to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the US government’s plans regarding library and bilingual education funding, could have a negative impact on bilingual publishing, access to books, and attitudes to other cultures, according to panelists at Guadalajara International Book Fair in Mexico. The importance of access to Spanish-language books and bilingual education is more vital than ever as the Hispanic population in the United States grows. That population currently numbers 58 million, with some 37 million speaking Spanish at home, said Adán Griego, curator of the Ibero-American collection at the libraries of Stanford University.

And if the treaty is scrapped, it’s likely that many products will be subjected to new tariffs.” Jesús Alonso-Regalado, subject librarian in history, Latin American studies, and Romance languages at the University at Albany, said that 37 percent of universities’ funding comes from federal and state governments. And he said that taxing tuition fee waivers for graduate students would hit the country’s biggest readers. Read the full article
