Copyright is the common term for the Canadian Copyright Act and contractual agreements with copyright holders, distributors and collective agencies.
Copyright laws are country specific. The rightsholder of a work may have different rights with regards to the same work in different countries.
The reuse of copyrighted works in Canada is subject to Canadian law.
Bill C-42, The Copyright Act and Bill C-11 are the laws that govern the use of copyrighted works in Canada.
