| Summary: | Proposed revisions of Canada's copyright law are criticized for their failure to address some basic issues of creator's rights, and the academic community's legal responsibility in the infringement of copyrights is discussed. It is argued that the writers of the proposed changes have treated copyrights as property rights without due consideration of relevant cultural, intellectual, and moral issues. The proposed revisions are reviewed, the legislative history of copyright in Canada is chronicled, the definition of copyright is examined, and several of the 137 specific legislative recommendations are used to demonstrate how the users or consumers of copyrighted materials are being ignored in favor of the creators.
