An updated guide to Canadian copyright law for an age of
reckless infringement

This fourth edition of Canadian Copyright Law brings you
the latest updates according to new Canadian legislation and
international agreements. Copyright infringement has always been an
invisible crime. Now with near-constant access to the Internet and
the mainstream explosion of digital formats, copyright is one of
the most important issues for creative professionals, consumers of
that media, and those who work in related industries. The line
between what is protected and what is "free" is blurring further,
and the copyright issues are more complex than ever.

* Provides a complete update on copyright issues relating to
digital media.

* Takes the convoluted legal jargon of the Canadian Copyright Act
and sets it out in everyday language.

* Provides concrete examples to offer further clarification of
complicated matters.

Whether you are a creator or user of copyright material,
Canadian Copyright Law will keep you current on copyright
law in Canada and its applications to your situation--to
protect your creations, content, and products in these rapidly
changing markets.
