copyright of television shows

Hi,

I am a Canadian student. For an educational conference I would like to edit several short clips (approx. 60 seconds each) of different American television shows together.
I am wondering how the copyright law works. Am I subject to Canadian laws even though they are American programs? If so, do you know if there is comparable "fair use" legislation in Canada? However, if I am subject only to American copyright law, do my circumstances support a "fair use" situation?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

You are on the right track. You can find out more about fair use exceptions to copyrighted material at http://library.findlaw.com or try WWW.library.findlaw.com
