Fair dealing and copyright in Canada

There are eight fair dealing purposes which may not infringe copyright, they are, research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire and parody. Copyright is put in place to protect peoples work, but there is ways that you can use work in certain situations without getting into trouble. I think that copyright is important to have because if it wasn't there people could copy anyones work and hand it into teachers as their own. 

      If a student was doing a News Report, they can copy an entire article for just the porpose of education. The place that the report is being done on must have a password to the sysytem, somewhere not anyone can just access. 

      If a student is doing research, the work is from a copyright- protected work. The student is able to copy the entire artistest work for the porpose of research. If you are planning on publishing the research though you can not include a picture of the artists work, if you do so it may not be considered fair dealing. 

      In the case of a student doing work for education, for either handing it out to other students or using it for a project, they can only copy ten percent of the work or a full chapter, whichever is greater for the porpose of education. 
       In the case of a student doing a review they can copy an entire article for the porpose of education.
