评论员研究了加拿大教资会新的例外情况在国际法方面的问题，包括它是否符合《伯尔尼公约》和世贸组织《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》。有一个问题没有得到太多的考虑，即这一例外是否可以作为其他正在进行数字版权改革的司法管辖区的理想模式。这篇文章是为加拿大版权法下的用户生成内容研讨会而写的，以香港为例，说明为什么加拿大的教资会例外，经过适当的修改，可以-也应该-本文首先讨论香港政府从外国移植版权法的努力，以及最近就版权法下的戏仿行为的处理进行的公众咨询政权它进一步探讨了法律的移植的好处和缺点。本文以美国1998年颁布的《数码千禧年版权法》为参照点，认为加拿大的UGC例外条款为法律的移植提供了一个及时而有吸引力的模式，并具体讨论了本人根据加拿大模式向香港政府提交的UGC例外条款建议。文章从法律的移植的两个主要方面--模式化和适应化--分析反对将加拿大的教资会例外情况移植到香港的主要意见，特别是有关遵守《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》的意见。文章最后叙述香港政府最近的谘询报告，包括对在《版权条例》中引入教资会例外情况的初步分析。虽然本文强烈反对这一分析，但这一部分认真考虑了政府对国际合规性的关注，并提出了七项额外的修改，以进一步适应拟议的移植。
Commentators have examined the international law aspects of the new Canadian UGC exception, including its compliance with the Berne Convention and the WTO TRIPS Agreement. One issue that has not been considered much is whether this exception would serve as an ideal model for other jurisdictions that are undertaking digital copyright reform. Written for the Symposium on User-Generated Content under Canadian Copyright Law, this article uses Hong Kong as a case study to illustrate why the Canadian UGC exception, with appropriate modifications, can be — and should be — transplanted abroad.This article begins by discussing the efforts by the Hong Kong government to transplant copyright laws from abroad and its recent public consultation on the treatment of parody under the copyright regime. It further examines the benefits and drawbacks of legal transplants. Using the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 as a point of comparison, the article argues that the Canadian UGC exception would provide a timely and attractive model for legal transplant.This article then discusses specifically the UGC exception proposal I submitted to the Hong Kong government based on the Canadian model. Focusing on two key aspects of legal transplant — modeling and adaptation — the article identifies the key objections to the transplant of the Canadian UGC exception to Hong Kong, in particular those relating to the compliance with the TRIPS Agreement.The article concludes by recounting the Hong Kong government's report on the recent consultation, including its preliminary analysis of introducing a UGC exception into the Copyright Ordinance. Although this article strongly disagrees with this analysis, this Part takes seriously the government's international compliance concerns and offers seven additional modifications to further adapt the proposed transplant.
