June 7 - 11 Campus-Community Radio Conference 2010

The annual conference of the National Campus and Community Radio Association (the NCRC of the NCRA) will take place on Gabriola Island, British Columbia - just a couple of ferry rides away from Vancouver.

The latest update is that the CBC is supporting costs for the Gala, where the radio awards will be presented. The conference also features workshops, caucuses, general meetings and Board elections, concerts, parties, and lots of conversations with people like you from stations across Canada. Tuesday, June 10 will be the Women's Conference day. Costs are quite modest and include food. CJSF helps subsidize our station volunteers to attend. For more info on that, contact Magnus.

Here's the conference announcement:

*Here are the dates again for NCRC 2010 Gabriola*
Monday to Friday, June 7th to 11th - conference proper
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday - plenary for NCRA AGM
Thursday, June 10 - Women in Radio Conference

Meet and Greet June 6th - Featuring: three bands; two kegs of beer and a
lifetime of memories. Think too many people, crowded into way too small
a room, with loud music and cold beer. Our opening will feature the well
established _ska_ entry from VanIsle, */The Kiltlifters/*, followed by
local _folk_ favs */Myles Black and the Pearly Whites/*, and closing the
night, for those catching the last ferry, will be the rather hidden
local _rock_ act - */Handsome and the Horribles/*.

New this year is the *Social Weekend Sat/Sunday* June 12/13th, a chance
to chill after the conference with only the soccer match to distract
you. We are planning our volunteer appreciation evening on Saturday,
you'll all be good buds with all the volunteers by then so delegates are
welcome to attend.

*Here are the costs to attend per person*
Conference costs to NCRA members will be $175 for the week, $35 for the day.

For on-site cabin accommodation it will be $25 per bed per night (bring
your own bedding).

On-site tenting is $20 per person per night.

Not into camping? Nearby private cabins are $90 plus taxes and up,

Rules on Reading Copyright Material On Air

Freya Zaltz on the NCRA Board is now a lawyer. Here she answers a question about reading copyright material on air. At the end is the relevant section of the Copyright Act.

Answers to your questions:


1) Can a host read an article word for word on the air as long as it is properly sourced? (name of the author, name of the publication, date of release, etc)

No. Technically you must have permission from the copyright holder. Under the Copyright Act fair dealing section, it's ok to read a short excerpt (with full credit given to the author, publication, date, etc.) for purposes of news reporting, criticism, or review, but not the whole thing. I will paste the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Act at the bottom of this message. What constitutes a short excerpt is not clear, but I think it means no more than the amount required in order to make the point intended.

2) Can clips from films be used? In a recent review a programmer aired the trailer for an independent documentary over the air as a way to let her audience know about it's upcoming release. I've also heard hosts use clips from documentaries they've found on Youtube to add to a discussion.

Same as above. Short excerpts are arguably ok for the purposes of critical discussion or review, but I'd try to stay away from use of film clips. Our SOCAN licence covers us for use of recorded music, but not for use of any other recorded audio or video material. The Copyright Act does not clearly refer to video clips in its fair dealing provisions, so I think it's a grey area.

3) Can clips from other podcasts or audio feeds be used, as long as it is properly sourced?

Same as above. Short excerpts of audio or written material can be used for purposes of criticism or review provided full credit is given. Longer excerpts would require permission of the copyright holder.

4) Do we have to ask for permission to broadcast any or all of this material in advance?

Yes, if it is being broadcast for reasons other than news reporting, criticism, or review, and if more than a short excerpt is being broadcast. This pertains to all uses of copyrighted materials, so programmers reading literary works (i.e. poems, books) or doing public affairs or special interest programming who are reading written material (i.e. articles) are required to follow the same rules.


5) How do you enforce copyright standards at your stations?

Zero tolerance? It doesn't happen very often, but copyright infringement could leave a station at risk of legal action, so it's in stations' best interests to ensure complaince by programmers.

Freya
