Section 2.5 — Copyright Act: What constitutes rental

For the purposes of paragraphs 3(1)(h) and (i), 15(1)(c) and 18(1)(c), an arrangement, whatever its form, constitutes a rental of a computer program or sound recording if, and only if, it is in substance a rental, having regard to all the circumstances;

and it is entered into with motive of gain in relation to the overall operations of the person who rents out the computer program or sound recording, as the case may be. For the purpose of paragraph (1)(b), a person who rents out a computer program or sound recording with the intention of recovering no more than the costs, including overhead, associated with the rental operations does not by that act alone have a motive of gain in relation to the rental operations.
