“Canadian Court Rules in Favor of Freelance Authors”
From the News Break, Robertson v. Thomson Corp. is a major Canadian copyright decision in a $100 million (CAN) class-action suit between Heather Robertson, on behalf of freelance authors, and Thomson Corp.; its electronic publishing affiliate, Information Access Co.; and The Globe and Mail newspaper (recently sold and now owned by Bell GlobeMedia). This is the first Canadian case to examine the ownership of�and the subsequent right to be compensated for the use of�articles by freelance writers in online databases…Canadian copyright law differs significantly from the law in the U.S. However, Robertson will have the same impact on Canadian copyright law as Tasini is currently having in the U.S.
