Canadian Copyright Law

If you create a work, you must know how your work can be legally protected.

If you use a work created by someone else, you must ensure that your use complies with copyright law.

This second edition includes comprehensive revisions to reflect both changes in the Copyright Act and the impact of recent technological developments. Lesley Ellen Harris discusses in everyday language the current copyright law, including its fundamental principles, the legal rights it protects, and the obligations it creates.

Canadian Copyright Law, Second Edition is a practical and concise guide for writers, musicians, visual artists, filmmakers, multimedia producers, publishers, editors, teachers, librarians, students, business people and lawyers; revised to deal with new media, electronic rights, and the Information Superhighway, plus an expanded section on international copyright, and includes the full text of the consolidated Copyright Act (including GATT changes, effective January 1, 1996).

``A practical lay-out, good design structure, simple straightforward language, extensive index and the use of chapter end summaries combine to make this text an extremely functional research tool."
The Canadian Bar Review

``The explanation of the different forms of intellectual property -- patents, trademarks, industrial design, confidential information and trade secrets, and copyright -- is a masterpiece of clear, concise writing."
Canadian Copyright Institute Newsletter

``Lesley Harris has written a concise but detailed handbook that will prove useful to authors, librarians, and anyone else -- creator or user -- who wants a quick summary of Canadian copyright law. Her book is also a convenient reference tool, with address and telephone numbers, an index and appendices, including The Copyright Act, to facilitate the checking of a particular point."
