Copyright issues arise when published work photocopying occurs. Recently in Michael Geist’s blog he discusses an arising case which involves Staples/the Business Depot and Access Copyright.

(Geist, 2007) Therefore the question is whether Staples/The Business Depot knowingly allow customer to copy copyrighted material. The argument of assuming that the facilities are used lawfully reappears and the notion of fair dealing. Staples will likely argue that it has not authorized infringement since it is entitled to presume that its facilities are being used lawfully and that much of the copying on its premises is either personal (ie. the copyright holder is the copier) or being done for research or private study purposes and therefore qualifies as fair dealing.
