Canadian Copyright: a citizen’s guide by Laura Murray and Sam Trosow
ISBN: 978-1-897071-30-4

Back cover description

Copyright is fast becoming part of everybody’s life, and questions about copyright pop up all the time. Yet no resource has existed to explain Canadian copyright law to ordinary Canadians.

In straightforward language, using colourful examples and case studies, Murray and Trosow demystify the Canadian Copyright Act. Never dumbing down the issues, the authors explore practical concerns pertinent to a range of interest groups. Ultimately, they make a case for grassroots engagement in balanced legal reform.
