Podcasting Legal Guide for Canada
As we have featured here in the past, Canada has an active podcasting community. When Creative Commons published their Podcasting Legal Guide in 2006, even Canadian podcasters got copies. But the focus of that Guide was on U.S. law and it quickly became clear that a Canadian version was needed.
Now, Creative Commons Canada is proud to present the Podcasting Legal Guide for Canada! More than just an adaptation of the original U.S. Guide, this version required an almost complete rewrite of the copyright sections to describe Canadian law, as well as substantial changes to the discussions of trade-marks and publicity rights. Kathleen Simmons and Andy Kaplan-Myrth co-authored the publication with help from the Creative Commons Canada team and the faculty at the Law & Technology group at the University of Ottawa.
The Podcasting Legal Guide for Canada is available for download here in html format and pdf format. Of course, it’s licensed under a CC licence, Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Canada.
