Comedians Unleashed
Expansion of fair dealing (ie circumstances in which people may use or copy content for free without fear of legal retribution). Fair dealing now includes education, parody and satire. So if you're a stand-up comedian you can use news reports in your skits. These are added to the original fair dealing purposes: research, private study, news reporting, criticism and review. That said, users planning to access or copy content under fair dealing would do well to educate themselves on the 6 factors courts use to decide whether a given instance of copying constitutes fair dealing. Fair dealing is a judgment call, and the more informed users are, the more accurate their judgment calls are likely to be.
