Reviewing Canadian Copyright Policy

June 19, 2017

Policy Options / Options politiques, the Institute for Research on Public Policy’s (IRPP) public policy and research analysis magazine, is publishing a series of analyses of the current state of the copyright regime in Canada, what should be changed, and what should be left alone.

Reforming the Copyright Act was a tough slog the last time around, a balancing act for policy-makers and legislators, who heard from wildly different perspectives on what would be best for consumers, creators, and the businesses that deal with original work. Five years have passed, and the time has come for the required review of the Act. Our contributors, writing from multiple vantage points, offer their analyses of the current state of the copyright regime in Canada, what should be changed, and what should be left alone.
