Description:
In <i>Digital Copyright Law</i>, Professor Hutchison
identifies and analyzes the many novel legal issues that often arise in this
area of growing importance. This book assesses the developing law against an
interpretive methodology that seeks to rationalize rights, and brings coherence
to the <i>Copyright Act</i>, in the face of challenging digital facts. Included
in this methodology is <span style="letter-spacing:.1pt">a detailed analysis of
the meaning and applicability of the principle of </span>technological
neutrality.
<p class="MsoNormal">This comprehensive treatment of Canadian digital copyright
law examines the recent digital amendments to the Act in depth?—?including
separate chapters on technological protection measures (digital locks) and the
treatment of Internet intermediaries. Detailed consideration is given to
developing caselaw on key issues such as the right to copy, the right to
communicate a work to the public by telecommunication, the application of fair
dealing rules in the digital sphere, and the use of Norwich orders to identify
Internet infringers. Other issues not yet addressed in the law, such as the
applicability of exhaustion rules to digital goods, and private international
law rules for ubiquitous infringement, are also discussed.</p>
