     @zotz No, #FairDealing is not a defence, like American #FairUse, it is group of exceptions to Canadian !copyright law with specific rules

     @zotz Yes, they can still sue for !copyright infringement even if you follow the rules, presumably if you stray into the edges...

     @zotz ... but the courts do have pretty clear rules. Even so, lawsuits can *still* be used to intimidate !copyright #chillingeffect
