“…As well, although many machinimators still create machinima to demonstrate their skills and build their reputation within online communities, machinima can also be seen, today, as an important critical tool. It has been used to provide feminist critiques of leading video games (Ahwesh, 2001, p. 11), to comment on the Vietnam War (Stern, 2003, p. 12), the Paris riots of 2005 (Chan, 2005) and the Virginia Tech Massacre (Horwatt, 2008, p. 13), and to critique former President of the United States of America George W. Bush by splicing together clips of his speeches (Munson, 2006, cited in Horwatt, 2008, p. 13).…”

The primary purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which Canada's copyright laws permit the creation of machinima, an art form broadly defined as the creation of films within video games. This article is structured as follows. First, it will introduce machinima, discussing its origins, its development and its social importance. Second, it will examine whether the acts of creating and distributing machinima infringe copyright in Canada. Third, it will ask whether there are any defences to copyright infringement on which machinimators (those who create machinima) can rely. This article will demonstrate that, in many cases, the creation and distribution of machinima likely infringes Canadian copyright law. Furthermore, a large percentage of machinima that are found to infringe copyright will not be protected by the fair dealing defence as it is currently being applied by Canadian courts. This article will conclude by situating the narrow issue of machinima and copyright infringement within the broader context of creativity and copyright reform in the digital age.
