Canadian Copyright Term and Public Domain (PD) Flowchart

When faced with the issue of whether something is in copyright do you throw up your hands and think "I'd rather apologize".

If you're not that cavalier take a look at this flowchart produced by the University of Alberta Library in January with a Creative Commons licence —Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

  1. I think that I'll still want to throw up my hands! :)

  2. Takes a bit of following the arrows, but I think I understand it. This flowchart is clearly meant to cover all kinds of creative output. Very interesting. Cool that they managed to get it all on one page!! :)

  3. Just what I needed right now. Such a great chart. Thank you for posting this John. Now I have to figure out if old letters and postcards sent to my grandmother between 1909 and 1943 are considered "communicated." They were communications. jane Down

  5. Found it and printed it. Giving a copy to my blogger daughter. It takes a few reviews to figure it out. But a good resource to add to resources. Plus can go the University of Alberta site and review or perhaps consult with the team there. Thanks for the information.
