Canadian copyright law is defined by the Copyright Act (http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-42/index.html).

Canada is a party to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works of 1886 and has signed but not yet ratified both the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996 and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996

Some interesting case law :

  • BMG Canada Inc. and others v. Doe and others
  • CCH Canada Ltd v. Law Society of Canada
  • Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada v. Canadian Association of Internet Providers

Canadians interested in the reform of Canadian Copyright Law are invited to join the Digital Copyright Canada forum (http://www.digital-copyright.ca/) (formally Canada-DMCA-Opponents)
