Canadian Copyright Law
Copyright infringement has always been an invisible crime. In the past, artists and producers have lost millions every year when their works were used without permission. At times, it was hard for even the most knowledgeable to keep current and know when they had crossed that unseen line. Now, the explosion of the Internet and other digital media is making copyright one of the most discussed issues of the new millennium. Many regard the Internet as a public forum and assume material is free for the taking. The line between what is protected and what is "free" is blurring further and the copyright issues are more complex than ever. Lesley Ellen Harris, lawyer and copyright expert, addresses these issues and more. She takes the convoluted legal jargon of the Canadian Copyright Act and sets it out in everyday language. She provides concrete examples to offer further clarification of complicated matters.
