Key Concepts
original creator or author of a work is the first owner of copyright (with some exceptions)
copyright is automatic, no registration is required in Canada
owning the item does not mean you own copyright
law does not distinguish between commercial and non-commercial uses
law of the country in which you are exploiting the work is the law that matters…if the countries have copyright relations

Copyright…
more than just the “right to copy”

Digital Projects
Where to start?
![Page 31: Copyright Issues for Digital Projects Image, Text, Sound & Technology: A Symposium on Digital Text Editing Carol Shepstone Head, Access Services Division](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a19523/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

often incorporate existing works complex layering of rights moral rights may be a concern licencing costs unknown and
without guidelines more creator concern about losing
control when digital technologies involved
may require “international” permissions, both for content and distribution
