Hi. I just wanted to post an update. I emailed several questions to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), asking how Canadian works are protected in foreign countries and also provided links to the Orphan Works Act, asking how this would affect Canadians. I should be receiving a reply in about 2 business days (By the 14th at the latest).
I also did a little research on international copyright and found the Berne Convention, which both Canada and the United States, along with a huge list of other nations (with a few exceptions--such as Taiwan) are members. I did try to read through some of the articles that make up the Berne Convention, but have found it very confusing. After lunch I will try and continue my search and post my findings online for all to see, although I think that most of my questions will be answered by CIPO.
Sincerely,
David Lein
