New page

== Basics of Canadian Copyright Law==
The GCR Wiki follows '''Canadian copyright laws''' because the website is physically hosted in Canada.

To simplify, '''Canadian copyright expires 50 years after the death of the composer or other author'''. Only works first published in countries that are members of the WTO or Berne Convention are subject to copyright in Canada. In most cases this applies retrospectively, unless the work was already public domain in the country where it was first published when either treaty was signed.

Works published before 1923 are public domain in the US, but may not be in Canada and other countries.

===Legal Uploading===
While works in the Canadian public domain that remain protected in the US are allowed for inclusion in the archive, it is possible that scanning and uploading such a work could constitute a violation of the US law for those who reside in the US.

===Determining Copyright Tables===
The following tables apply to {{CURRENTYEAR}}. The term "author" refers to either the composer, an orchestrator, arranger, or an editor.

==Editions of Public Domain Works==
===Determining Type===
There is no copyright in Canada purely in the act of publication itself. Thus any non-edited reprint or re-engraving of a public domain edition is also public domain. The term "edition" or the credit "edited by" has been liberally applied by publishers for items ranging from serious re-arrangements and re-orchestrations of the original work to completely unaltered reprints of older, public domain scores.

===Reprint Editions===
Reprint editions of publications that are in public domain are not subject to copyright in Canada, the USA, the EU, and most (if not all) of the world. No copyright can be claimed on the scanning of a public domain work regardless of whether the original scanned is in printed or manuscript form.

==International Copyright Treaties==

[[wikipedia:Rule_of_the_shorter_term|Rule of the Shorter Term]]
 
'''In Berne signatory countries'''

This rule basically states that if a work is in the public domain in the country of origin, it is also public domain in any country that signed the Berne Convention. This rule has '''not''' been adopted by the USA or Canada.

The European Union applies the Rule of the Shorter Term for works whose country of origin is outside the EU. Thus, a work by an American composer which entered the public domain in the USA, is public domain in the EU. Under the Berne treaty, the ''Country of Origin'' is defined as the country of first publication of a given work.

'''In NAFTA Parties (U.S.A, Canada, Mexico)'''

North American Free Trade Agreement: Article 1703: National Treatment
{|class="wikitable"
|
*1. Each Party shall accord to nationals of another Party treatment no less favorable than that it accords to its own nationals with regard to the protection and enforcement of all intellectual property rights.
