IN
AN AGE OF downloadable culture, messages
about copyright are ubiquitous. Whether you're an
artist, consumer, or teacher, copyright will be a
part of your everyday life. Yet no resource exists
to explain Canadian copyright law to ordinary
Canadians.
In accessible
language, and using colourful examples and case
studies, this book parses the Copyright Act and
explains pertinent issues. It also makes a case for
grassroots engagement in balanced legal
reform.
Canadian Copyright:
A Citizen's Guide is not an alarmist call to
stop the pirating of culture, but an articulate
assertion that artists and consumers need not see
each other as enemies. It is an invaluable resource
for culture makers and purchasers alike.
