this exception was not relied upon in cch canadian : “the law society’s dealings with the publishers’ works were fair . thus , the law society need not rely on the library exemption . however , were it necessary , it would be entitled to do so ( para . 84 ) . ” but section 30 . 2 should not be forgotten .

no evidence the copiers were used in manner inconsistent with copyright law . the court held that the court of appeal erred in finding that lsuc ' s posting of the notice constitutes an express acknowledgement that copiers will be used in an illegal manner . lsus lacks sufficient control over the works patron chooses to copy , purposes for copying , or photocopiers themselves . lsuc does not have to go out and prove that people who use copiers or take advantage of the custom photocopy service have done so in accordance with the law ; the burden of proof rests on cch ( can rely on the fair dealing exception ) .

the postwar era remained highly competitive for legal and business reference publishers , with corporation trust , prentice hall , and commerce clearing house all seeking to exploit new market niches . when commerce clearing house created the business law reference reporter , prentice hall sued the company for copyright infringement . the protracted legal battle , although ultimately inconclusive , severely damaged commerce clearing house ' s financial reserves . in 1927 , in order to preserve his business , kixmiller merged commerce clearing house with corporation trust . the new corporation took the name commerce clearing house , inc . , ( cch ) although corporation trust ( and the thorne family ) assumed the controlling interest in the company .
encouraging as the decision was , it by no means assured anyone of success in the long - term pursuit of balance in copyright law . in a comment upon the case , teresa scassa wondered if it was “too little , too late . ” the predilection of the world then ( as it is now ) was to adopt more expansive copyright and the canadian government of the day showed no signs of taking a different course of action . she wrote :
the case offered much to canadians . fair dealing emerged as a robust principle instead of merely a defense against infringement . institutions were provided instruction in how to shape their practices to be in accordance with the law . yet a curious byproduct of the ruling seems to be more confusion over when and how to apply fair dealing . and forgotten is a tangential remark : canadian libraries already had the right to stand in the shoes of their patrons for acts of fair dealing .
… [ w ] hile the canadian supreme court’s new balancing approach offers users greater scope under the existing copyright legislation than they have ever realistically been able to hope for , it is an approach that may be anachronistic , insufficient and ultimately against the grain of current legislative and international directions . the court may well be situating itself as the last champion of a much beleaguered underdog – the ordinary user , and in this respect , the effort is welcome ( p . 97 ) .
north of 49 , posted february 24 , 2015 : “the proximity of the united states to canada occasionally leads to some confusion north of the 49 th parallel ; in common parlance , fair use eclipses fair dealing . i cannot resist reminding others : we are canadian ; our exception is fair dealing . yet it is only appropriate to also say that canada has benefited greatly by american fair use . from our vantage point , we were able to appreciate the opportunity provided by flexibility in the language of exceptions , suffer the worst of fair use’s growing pains by proxy , and step ahead of such pain in our own development of exceptions . ” to read more , see link or pdf .

under s . 29 of the copyright act ?
the publishers’ works are original and protected by copyright act . applied a test for originality :
lsuc can rely on it’s general practice under the 1996
access to law policy
to establish fair dealing . applied a test for fair dealing :
the copyright act has dual objectives , to balance public interest in the encouragement and dissemination of works and obtaining a just reward for the creator ; the balance among these and other public policy objectives lies not only in recognizing the creator’s rights but in giving due weight to their limited nature .

the fair dealing exception , like other exceptions in the copyright act , is a user’s right . in order to maintain the proper balance between the rights of a copyright owner and users’ interests , it must not be interpreted restrictively ( para . 48 ) .
all rights reserved . no part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means , electronic or mechanical , including photocopying , recording , or any information storage and retrieval system , without permission in writing from the publisher .
if one unpacks this passage , the first sentence is correct . all the rights offered within copyright law have been reserved to the benefit of the copyright holder . at this juncture though , one should remember that extensive as those rights are , copyright holders are not permitted the right to refuse exceptions defined within the same law . copyright holders cannot pick the parts of the copyright act they wish to accept , and the parts which are to be dispensed with . but the sentence that follows in the passage tries to do exactly that ; it categorically denies unauthorized use , despite the fact that fair dealing , fair use , and a host of other exceptions , can allow reproduction and transmission , by whatever means , without the consent of the publisher .
fair dealing / fair use week sparked an outpouring of dialogue about our exceptions for unauthorized use . my favorite was jonathan band’s description of the many sightings of fair use in the daily life of a legislative assistant .
and , it was with great pleasure that i contributed the following posts to harvard library and the office for scholarly communication , and university of toronto scholarly communications and copyright office . my thanks to kyle courtney and daniela cancilla for the invitations to participate with their respective universities .
under s . 30 . 2 ( 1 ) , a library or persons acting under its authority may do anything on behalf of any person that the person may do personally under the fair dealing exceptions to copyright infringement ( para . 83 ) .
i concluded in the main appeal that the law society’s dealings with the publishers’ works were fair . thus , the law society need not rely on the library exemption . however , were it necessary , it would be entitled to do so ( para . 84 ) .
what surrounded the decision with acclaim from public interest advocates , and loathing from some copyright owner representatives , was the recognition by the court that the system of copyright is inherently about nuance—that copyright does not support a blanket prohibition on all copying .
excessive control by holders of copyrights and other forms of intellectual property may unduly limit the ability of the public domain to incorporate and embellish creative innovation in the long - term interests of society as a whole , or create practical obstacles to proper utilization . this is reflected in the exceptions to copyright infringement … which seek to protect the public domain in traditional ways such as fair dealing … ( para . 32 ) .
returning to scassa’s comment , she drew particular attention to mclachlin’s instruction that the availability of a license is not relevant to a decision of fair dealing . scassa wrote : “this is an extremely important statement for libraries and universities which have struggled with the costs of reprography licenses to protect them against copyright infringement actions ( p . 95 ) . ”
tucked into my books is an old newspaper clipping titled “photocopying not an automatic infringement of copyright laws . ” in a space of 12 cm x 15 cm , reporter janice tibbetts succinctly captured and conveyed the main issues : ( 1 ) that copying in itself can be permissible within the mandate of copyright ; ( 2 ) a library can provide copying services ( subject to careful consideration ) for its patrons ; ( 3 ) the mere provision of equipment that could be used for copyright infringement is not authorization of infringement ( emphasis added ) ; and ( 4 ) a higher standard on the meaning of “originality” in terms of what qualifies for copyright protection .
as some readers may recall the principle complaint in the case was the practice of the library of the law society of upper canada making copies of copyrighted material at the request of patrons . key to the favourable outcome was the library’s clearly defined policy governing the requests for copies . writing for the court , chief justice beverly mclaughlin noted :
( the complete access policy is quoted in the ruling ; see paragraph 61 . )
this comports with the purpose of the fair dealing exception , which is to ensure that users are not unduly restricted in their ability to use and disseminate copyrighted works . persons or institutions relying on the s . 29 fair dealing exception need only prove that their own dealings with copyrighted works were for the purpose of research or private study and were fair . they may do this either by showing that their own practices and policies were research - based and fair , or by showing that all individual dealings with the materials were in fact research - based and fair ( emphasis added , para . 63 ) .
notably , while the library’s clientele included commercial law firms this was not a bar to the finding of fair dealing .
in 1999 , amendments to the copyright act came into force allowing libraries , archives and museums to qualify for exemptions against copyright infringement : s . c . 1997 , c . 24 . under s . 30 . 2 ( 1 ) , a library or persons acting under its authority may do anything on behalf of any person that the person may do personally under the fair dealing exceptions to copyright infringement ( para . 83 ) .
section 30 . 2 . ( 1 ) reads as : “it is not an infringement of copyright for a library , archive or museum or a person acting under its authority to do anything on behalf of any person that the person may do personally under section 29 or 29 . 1 . ”
section 29 and 29 . 1 of the copyright act apply to research or private study , and , criticism and review , with the attendant conditions . libraries et al . should take note of section 30 . 2 ( 2 ) ; it is very specific to the purpose of research and private study ; it allows reproduction of complete , single copies of articles taken from scholarly , scientific or technical periodicals . to qualify for section 30 . 2 the library must be a nonprofit entity .
today was an eventful day . ministers clement and moore set the stage for amendment to the copyright act with their op / ed in the national post . the ministers emphasized the importance of facilitating creative effort in canada . to that end , the parliamentary process for amending the act has begun with the notice paper .
when courts adopt a standard of originality requiring only that something be more than a mere copy or that someone simply show industriousness to ground copyright in a work , they tip the scale in favour of the author’s or creator’s rights , at the loss of society’s interest in maintaining a robust public domain that could help foster future creative innovation . … by way of contrast , when an author must exercise skill and judgment to ground originality in a work , there is a safeguard against the author being overcompensated for his or her work . this helps ensure that there is room for the public domain to flourish as others are able to produce new works by building on the ideas and information contained in the works of others [ para . 23 ] .
the term public domain is also not defined in our act . connotation of the phrase ranges from the benign ( that which is freely available to the public ) to an aura of degradation ( to fall into the public domain implies a loss of stature ) . common to both interpretations is the belief that material in the public domain is absent copyright , either through expiry or ineligibility . as i have noted the world intellectual property organization defines the public domain as , “… the realm of works which can be exploited by everybody without any authorization . ” this includes work lacking copyright protection , however , it also includes currently copyrighted material accessed in accordance with exceptions detailed in our act . including fair dealing .
i had the pleasure of chatting with librarians on friday , yet i always leave such events with the same guilty feeling i have after spending time with my mother . librarians and mothers look after us , even when we don’t know that they are doing it . and on those days ( many in my case ) when i explicitly ask for help from either party – i get far more than i had imagined possible .
but guilt is a less - than - practical emotion . theoretically , one should use that same mental energy in a productive fashion . so the solution seems easy enough – give back a little of the wealth of help that keeps coming my way . well , i tried that with my own mother yesterday . my daughter and i took her out for a shopping session and dinner in an indian section of town . by the end of it , my groceries had been bought ( by mother ) , our dinner paid for ( by mother ) , and i was wearing a pretty new necklace ( also courtesy of mother . ) seriously , i didn’t plan it this way .
which leaves the library community as my only source of guilt - alleviation . all i can really give are recitations of copyright lore . so here’s one that might be of interest . for fair dealing , librarians can stand in the shoes of their patrons .
30 . 2 ( 1 ) it is not an infringement of copyright for a library , archive or museum or a person acting under its authority to do anything on behalf of any person that the person may do personally under section 29 or 29 . 1 . 30 . 2 ( 1 ) ne constituent pas des violations du droit d’auteur les actes accomplis par une bibliothèque , un musée ou un service d’archives ou une personne agissant sous l’autorité de ceux - ci pour une personne qui peut elle - même les accomplir dans le cadre des articles 29 et 29 . 1 .
in 1999 , amendments to the copyright act came into force allowing libraries , archives and museums to qualify for exemptions against copyright infringement : s . c . 1997 , c . 24 . under s . 30 . 2 ( 1 ) , a library or persons acting under its authority may do anything on behalf of any person that the person may do personally under the fair dealing exceptions to copyright infringement .

laura murray has posted her contribution to the recent ottawa roundtable concerning revisions of the copyright act . ( thank you laura . ) i share her concern that fair dealing’s usefulness will be eradicated if implicated within licensing programs . as it is , the academic community tends to bestow more rights upon copyright owners than the law actually provides .
for various reasons , there is a presumption that use of copyrighted material relies on permission from the copyright holder . past efforts to protest have been met with indignation , and academic representatives were seen as wanting everything for free . i have written on this issue before , with respect to the consultations of 2004 :
…a frequent theme of discussion was that manufacturers of tables , chairs , and software are not asked to give away their work for free , so why should creators be requested to do so ? lost in the argument was the fact that no - one had asked creators to make their work available for free , instead , free work was asked to be made available—that existing free rights of access to copyrighted work should be respected and protected .
i hope the efforts of laura and many others come to fruition , and that fair dealing receives the support of the federal government of canada . but to what extent will the academic community , as a whole , utilize fair dealing ? the palpable unwillingness to engage with fair dealing as it is currently available is alternately puzzling and disturbing . particularly in light of the strong support provided to fair dealing by the supreme court of canada .
apart from the broader constituency of canadians as a whole , the academic community is the largest stakeholder in canada which benefits by fair dealing . students , teachers , researchers , and administrators all rely upon this modest measure of unauthorized reproduction . given that the supreme court justices also noted the “relevance of a custom or practice of a particular trade or industry” upon a decision of fair dealing , fair dealing’s legitimacy within academia rests upon academic engagement .

the buhl aircraft company is a us aircraft manufacturer founded in detroit in 1925 with operation until 1933 .

buhl designed and manufactured the buhl-verville ca-3 airster , first aircraft to receive a us civil aviation type certificate in march 1927 .

several utility and sport aircraft models were developed from 1925 to 1931 , both fixed wings and rotary wing aircraft .

relative success came with the buhl airsedan and buhl bull pup , with manufacturing numbers over one hundred sixty from 1927 to 1932 .

the buhl aircraft company is a us aircraft manufacturer founded in detroit . . .
in 1918 he worked with the army air service engineering division at mccook field , ohio until 1925 . in 1925 he co - founded the buhl - verville aircraft company and was with the company up to 1927 . in 1928 he founded his own company in the verville aircraft company . most obviously important in this endeavor would be the other founding member of the company mr . lawrence d . buhl . buhl started his first aircraft company in 1925 as the buhl aircraft division , buhl stamping company in detroit michigan . in 1927 the company changed names , buhl aircraft company located at marysville , michigan . in 1930 the company packed up and moved to st . clair , michigan . this is where the autogiro comes into the story .
1927 : buhl aircraft co , marysville mi ; 1930 : buhl airport , st clair mi . 1933 : ended operations .
“the buhl aircraft company was founded in 1925 as part of the holdings of detroit’s buhl family . by the late 1920’s , the buhl family had been on the detroit manufacturing scene for nearly one hundred years , best known for the buhl stamping company and the beautiful art - deco buhl building in downtown detroit .
a unique building near the river that has since been lost . the buhl company would grow as the years progressed . below is a little history on the buhl aircraft company via ralph cooper :
the buhl aircraft company closed due to the depression . dormoy then joined the boeing aircraft company of seattle . he was assigned to the wind tunnel division and helped design the p - 26 peashooter .

the air sedan was a 1929 design by the buhl aircraft company of marysville , michigan . it carried six people including the pilot . four were imported into canada between 1929 and 1931 . compared to other aircraft of the time , it was not an outstanding aircraft . after the buhl company went bankrupt , the ontario provincial air service obtainedc the rights to the aircraft and built 4 of the type in sault ste . marie .
so much from a single aircraft and unfortunately not a well known aircraft in terms of the impact it would have on later gyroplane designs .
there are very few things remarkable about buhl’s entrance or contributions as a company . the aircraft that they did design however does have a place in the history books in regards to future gyroplane designs . built under license from the autogiro company of america ( pitcairn ) .
known originally as the buhl - verville aircraft company , based at detroit , this company was founded in march 1925 , with its head office and factory at marysville , michigan . builder of three - and five - seat transport biplanes known as the airster and airsedan series .

like a lot of other companies in the early 1920s , the buhl family decided to begin to build aircraft ,
said moss , a resident of port huron .
dormoy left boeing due to allergies induced by the damp seattle climate . he joined the consolidated aircraft company of san diego ( later renamed convair ) .
alfred victor verille was an aviation pioneer and aircraft designer responsible for a number of important contributions in aircraft design . some of his innovations include welded steel - frame fuselages and retractable landing gear .
on sept . 27 , carl moss will delve into the aeronautic history of the city in his presentation
flying high in marysville : the history of the buhl aircraft made in marysville .
key figures to the success of the a - 1 autogiro were buhl’s chief engineer , eitenne dormay and pilot , james johnson and one other gentleman by the name of alfred verille , another aircraft designer .
the city of marysville has a rich , interesting history that begins in the early days with lumbering and saw mills and progresses through eras of shipbuilding , automobile manufacturing and the building of the buhl aircraft .
born in 1890 , verille started working in 1914 at the curtiss aeroplane & motor company . by the close of world war i he had worked for several aircraft manufacturers . in 1915 with thomas - morse company , 1915 - 1917 for general airplane company and 1917 - 1918 with the fisher body corporation , airplane division .

said moss .
in late 1926 , the buhls purchased the old illinois tool co . , which supplied tools and machinery to the wills ste . claire assembly plant in marysville , said terry ernest , president of the wills ste . claire museum .
the plant is still standing in the form of rick ' s service center on m - 29 , also known as busha highway .
in the 1920s , m - 29 was still nearly a half - century in the future . river road provided the main north - south thoroughfare through the city .
we keep digging up stuff that ' s been forgotten but is really cool ,

from the stories of the native american tribes who inhabited marysville’s shores to those of the early founding fathers and industrial giants , it is a tale of men with vision and courage . visit our museum and discover little known facts about the town and its people .
in 1817 zephaniah w . bunce sailed up the st . clair river and settled at the mouth of baby’s creek , serving as merchant , postmaster , lumberman , judge and legislator for 65 years . there was no habitation nearer than fort gratiot to the north and palmer ( st . clair ) to the south . the pine forest that stretched from pine river to the strait of mackinac was barely touched by man . this was woodland . eventually saw mills dotted the shorelines of streams in marysville along what is known today as carleton creek ( near the golf course ) , bunce creek ( detroit edison plant ) , and mud creek ( in marysville park ) .
meldrum and park erected a sawmill in 1792 at carleton creek and was later succeeded by colonel andrew mack – a prominent detroit man . the colonel constructed a house there which later became the home of george w . carleton . a model of this house may still be seen on the lawn of marysville historical museum in marysville park . the tombstone of andrew mack and his wife , amelia , still remains standing on the north bank of carleton creek in marysville golf course .
another mill located at bunce creek was owned by judge bunce and his sons , mumford and lefferts , which was built on the site of an earlier mill started by antoin morass in approximately 1786 . the mill was water powered and in operation from 1818 until 1870 . initially it was called bunceville , serving as a port of call for passenger steamers running between chicago and detroit . it was the trading post for indians and trappers , the post office for fort gratiot and desmond , of which judge bunce was postmaster . the judge later became a member of the first michigan legislature .
in 1843 , edward p . vickery purchased land from cummings sanborn and erected a sawmill at the point where mud creek flowed into the st . clair river , near the foot of the present huron boulevard . he named his operation vickery’s landing . as the settlement grew , it was renamed vicksburg . in 1859 the name was changed to marysville , after nelson mill’s wife mary . vickery sold his mill in 1852 to lewis brockway and horace e . bunce , who in turn sold it in 1854 to nathan reeves , myron williams and nelson mills . mills became the sole owner in 1862 . nelson mills operated three specialized mills on the st . clair river near the mouth of mud creek . these continued to function until about 1900 . the williams - mills operation was the largest enterprise in marysville up until the arrival of c . h . mills .
another establishment within the present boundaries of marysville was hubbard’s corners , where isaac hubbard built a tavern , blacksmith shop and a store on the corner of bartlett road ( huron blvd . ) and gratiot turnpike . hubbard married edward vickery’s daughter , mary .
from 1853 to 1883 , vicksburg was also a shipbuilding town . myron williams built the following schooners ; marry - 88 tons and the mary williams - 88 tons . these small schooners were built to transport lumber from vicksburg to detroit and other lake erie ports . in 1862 williams built the schooner emeline - 121 tons and in 1864 the tug tawas , named after a native american . the tug exploded in 1874 killing some of its crew .
in 1864 , williams also constructed the city of tawas – 572 tons and the scow d . g . williams in 1874 . n & b mills rebuilt the clifton in 1866 , built the n . mills in 1870 , the mary mills in 1872 and the steamer j . e . mills in 1883 .
following the lumber era from 1900 to 1919 , marysville was a quiet little village extending from the river west to what is now michigan avenue . there was no industry at that time , although there was a rapid transit system to detroit and port huron via the electric interurban railway known as the d . u . r . ( detroit urban railway ) .
marysville was first incorporated as a village in the year 1919 and as a fifth class city in 1924 under the city manager form of government . the population has grown steadily and is approximately 9 , 959 today . new businesses have sprung up in the area , attracted by our fine school system , efficient police and fire departments and excellent municipal services .
the city of marysville continues to strive to be a great place to visit , a better place to live , and ensure our website is a great resource of information . have any questions or concerns ? please contact us and let us know how we can help .

nick mamer and art walker take off from spokane ' s felts field on a history - making feat of endurance flying on august 15 , 1929 .
on the occasions when hose refueling was not available or went wrong , fuel had to be lowered in containers swaying at the end of ropes . this was also the method used for getting food and other supplies to mamer and walker . a mishap , which could have been fatal , occurred when rough air caused the sun - god’s propeller to cut the refueling hose hanging down from the refueling plane . miraculously , the fuel being sprayed on the top of the sun - god did not cause an explosion or fire . with tanks dangerously low , they managed to refuel at night with the remaining 20 feet of hose illuminated by a flashlight tied to the end .
ironically , one of mamer’s most maddening predicaments occurred on august 20 when he arrived over spokane and circled for six hours to add to the flight time . a magneto malfunction occasioned the exchange of several concerned notes with the spokane committee on the ground at felts field ; then an inexperienced refueling crew almost caused a disaster . mamer dropped the following exasperated note :
nick mamer continued operating his own flight service in spokane and eventually became a pilot for northwest airlines . in the estimation of spokane aviation authority james mcgoldrick , “nick mamer was responsible for more aviation firsts being credited to spokane than any other person” ( mcgoldrick , 45 ) .
