Sinopsis

Hook line: A clear, practical look at why Canada should control its own copyright law. This edition explains the legal history and the public reasons behind Canadian rights.

The book presents a plain-spoken argument for Canadian self-government in copyright. It traces British laws and imperial actions, then shows how Canada built its own regime to suit local needs and cheap, accessible literature. Readers will see how policy goals, industry interests, and constitutional questions intersect in this long-running debate.


  • How British copyright law and imperial acts shaped Canadian rules.

  • A timeline from the 1710 Act through later imperial changes and the 1875 Canadian Act.

  • A contrast between Canadian aims and United States copyright practice.

  • Policy implications for publishers, authors, and the public interest in Canada.



Ideal for readers of Canadian legal history, constitutional law, and policy discussions about publishing and culture.
