Subject:Automatic Canadian copyright? From:Herman van den Bergen <VDBERGEN -at- UOTTAWA -dot- BITNET> Date:Mon, 5 Sep 1994 18:51:22 EDT
A question for Canadian writers:
I am about to put some written material on the Internet for free
distribution but want to protect it under the Canadian copyright laws
as I might like to publish it more formally at a later date.
Is Canadian copyright automatic?
Is this Canadian copyright recognized in other countries?
Anything else I should know about?
Thanks in advance for your comments,
Herman.
