message: Hello,
Can someone make a short explanation out of http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-42/section-7.html I don't understand what is the meaning of this. Thanks, Yann 13:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Posthumous works 

message: I would think it would be better if a "history section was created on the this page and with the Canadian Copyright act here (as that page is so short) either completely, or as such that a subsection is created on this page that has the 'see main article' thing that redirects it to the other page.

replies: text: I am opposed to a complete merge, however I would be okay with moving specific sections between the two articles. Canadian copyright law includes the Copyright Act, as well as case law and copyright-related legislation which does not amend the Copyright Act itself. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 09:01, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: What is the copyright term for a company?  If, in general, the copyright term in Canada is the life of the author plus 50 years does this mean that as long as the company exists it retains copyright on any works it creates?  Or is there a separate clause in the Copyright Act pertaining to companies.

message: Under the page heading "Music Recordings", I've removed the following:
This consumer right has been extended by the courts to include peer-to-peer downloads.Canada deems P2P downloading legal - CNET News.com
This particular opinion was based on the 2003 Copyright Board decision, which was overruled by a 2005 Federal Court of Appeal decision.  I've provided a reference to the 2005 case in the updated encyclopedic content.

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: Since there has been some talk recently in the media about copyright reform, I added two new sections: collectives and issues.  Any other thoughts on these topics?  I also added some more context regarding the copyright bills.

thread_title: Additions regarding collectives and issues and context regarding copyright amendments

message: Further to my previous edits, I changed the title of private copying to Canadian Private Copying Collective.  I notice there are a lot of related articles to this entry, so I added the links I can find in the see also section.
I added a new section on rights.  I think in addition to the more controversial topics regarding Canadian copyright reforms, some information should be given with regards to the more basic rights, like moral rights.  A lot of copyright is based on the moral rights of the author, so I think people can really benefit from having a flushed section on the topic.

thread_title: More fixes re. collectives, links and new section re. rights

message: Hello,
Would anyone object to my creating a Reactions section (to Bill C-11), or do you feel this information would be better placed under the Issues section?  This would most likely contain links to articles from members of government, the public and possibly, corporate spheres.

@ Dunedin12
I thiink this can also fit into the legislativve reforms section.  If there are a good number of debates surrounding some of the concepts/provisions, you can probably put it in the issues section as well.142.1.213.236 (talk) 15:04, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reactions to Bill C-11 

message: I've been given an assignment to integrate a paper that I wrote for the Intellectual Property law class at the University of Toronto (part of the Wikipedia Canada Education Programme)into this article. Please do not make any changes to this version of this article until the end of my course in the middle of January 2012. 
My additions to this article relate mainly to the purpose of copyrights as seen more from philosophical and legal perspective that is the subject of my study and my assignment. However, if the authors and contributors to the original version of this article strongly believe that the content should stay as encyclopedic as it is, I will be happy to change it back to the original version after my class is over.   I appreciate your understanding Mken86 (talk) 19:46, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revising this article as an assignment for the law course at the University of Toronto 

message: The section on legal approaches and theories do not seem to fit with the rest of the article - possibly can be moved and redirected to Philosophy of copyright (though that article has its own issues). Either way, it needs a lot of improvement because it looks like something cribbed from a law student summary or essay. Perhaps the best thing to do is to point to the main article and then give a few Canadian interpretations of the concepts if we decide to keep it here. Unavoidable (talk) 04:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Legal approaches and theories section 

message: I've been reading about Canadian DRM law as part of working on the iOS jailbreaking article, and last week Michael Geist posted this: Canadian Copyright Reform In Force: Expanded User Rights Now the Law. It looks like this article should be updated to reflect the passing of Bill C-11, but I'm not very familiar with Canadian law in general, so I'll leave the updating to somebody else who knows more than I do.

replies: text: On my to-do list, but if anyone wants to tackle it please help! Not a lot of editors working on Canadian copyright law right now. Unavoidable (talk) 01:12, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

text: I was quite surprised when I received a letter from my ISP talking about the new copyright law.  This article still listed bill C-11 as tabled!  I updated the information in this article and referenced a few relevant links.   However, I agree with the above commenter.  Chances are the new law makes a good portion of the information listed in this article outside of copyright history obsolete.Bill C. Riemers (talk) 22:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  C-11 taking effect 

message: Hi there,  I just added a short section on the 5 year parliamentary review of the copyright act that started in 2017.  I put in under copyright reform, but if anyone has suggestions for a better location or doesn't think it's appropriate, I'm open to ideas. I am editing for a course.

thread_title:  Copyright review 

message: The first paragraph of said section says the general rule is still life + 50 years, contradicting the second paragraph. My guess is that the first is out of date. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 05:14, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
