In order for Canada to be an important player in the emerging digital economy, the Copyright Act may need to be amended to ensure that it continues to be meaningful, clear and balanced. In particular, the examination of key digital copyright issues is necessary to fully realize the governments priority of promoting the dissemination of new and interesting content on-line, for and by Canadians. The departments believe it is now an opportune moment to initiate consultation with stakeholders on whether the Act should be amended to:
- set out a new exclusive right in favour of copyright owners, including performers and record producers, to make their works available on-line to the public;
- prevent the circumvention of technologies used to protect copyright material; and,
- prohibit tampering with rights management information.
