“Copyright in Collective Works”, (2005) 84 Canadian Bar Review 347-364
This paper explores the balance between the layers of copyright in collective works. Focusing on the publication of collective works in digital formats, the author argues that care needs to be taken in determining whether such publications are reproductions of the original work, or new works. An analysis to determine whether a collective work has been reproduced must respect the limitations of the definition of a collective work, and the balance that must be struck between the two layers of copyright in such works.
