Canadas Copyright Law Canadas copyright law is one of our hardest laws to enforce.
The reason the police have so much trouble enforcing this law, is due to technology. This law is
very easy to break, and once broken, it is very hard to track down violators. So although some
form of a copyright law is needed, the one we have has, too many holes to be effective. There are
three main ways in which the copyright law is broken in everyday life. ...
The first, and most commonly violated aspect of the copyright law, is the copying of
audio tapes for oneself and friends. ... You also just broke the
law. ... This is in direct conflict with the copyright law, because the program was not
meant to be copied thus the bug. ...
The copyright law in Canada is governed by the Copyright Act, which protects the
original work of literary, artistic, musical and dramatic pieces. For example: These are just some
pieces that Canada’s copyright act covers: books, newspapers, dictionaries, magazines, computer
software, photographs, videos, lyrics and musical works.
•Copyright comes into existence automatically, at the time the work was created, and, in
the case of most works, it continues until the end of the calendar year in which the author of the
work dies (regardless of whether the author has sold or assigned the copyright in the work or
not), and continues for an additional period of 50 years.
