Why Copyright?

Copyright Law is designed to provide a balance between rewarding creators for their works, thus encouraging further creativity, and ensuring reasonable access by users to those works. That is why the Copyright Act includes sections setting out the exclusive rights of copyright owners, as well as sections which specify the rights of users - the fair dealing sections.

The exclusive rights pertaining to various categories of works, and subject matter other than works, are set out in the Rights table. To do any of these acts, without the permission of the copyright owner, infringes that owner’s copyright.
