Copyright information for podcasting or audio tape production

1. There is a pdf that outlines what you can and cannot do in Canada
(type in search words in google: podcasting legal guide canada pdf )

2. what you can do: (my interpretation so I'm not guaranteeing its accuracy)
a)- use your own material (however if you create it while you are under SD 34 employ they are technically the owner).
b) record works that are in the public domain. You need to record the public domain material yourself unless you have permission e.g. librivox ("LibriVox recordings are in the public domain, which means people can do anything they like with them. Mostly this just means people can listen to them for free. But it also means they can: sell them (for instance on ebay), broadcast them,..")
c) use creative commons - this is material you can use on podcasts (don't need to ask permission)

Marilyn, this is great information for us novice podcasters (or sharers of audio). Many times I get asked by teachers if they can share commercial material in audio form or repurpose material already on the web. Thanks for sharing!
