***Note - Canada's Copyright Modernization Act came into force on Nov. 7, 2012, which "enables the use of copyrighted materials provided the use is “fair.”  Previously, if you wanted to produce a satirical work and used third party copyrighted materials without permission, you could have been sued for copyright infringement. Now, under the expanded definition of “fair dealing” in the Act, creating a satire or parody using others’ materials, such as a third party logo, is no longer considered copyright infringement. To fall within the fair dealing exception the use must: (a) be “fair”; and (b) fall within one of the enumerated categories, which now includes education, parody and satire in addition to research, private study, criticism, review, and news reporting"(Source).
