Copyright Infringement

A copyright is the right to produce, reproduce, and transform any original work. Copyrights are only given to original works that fall under the "following seven categories: Literary works, Musical works including accompanying any works, Dramatic works including accompanying music, Choreographic works, Graphical and sculptural works, Motion pictures and other audiovisual works, Sound recordings, and Architectural works"1. Under the Canadian copyright act any published or unpublished original work upon creation will receive automatic copyright protection.

In this case there was no question that Playboy owned the copyrights on the photographs due to the fact that at trial, Frena had offered no evidence to rebuff Playboy's copyright documentation. The only remaining issue was whether the defendant's actions implicated one of the copyright holders exclusive rights.

Though the Copyright Act was effective in providing clarification on this case. The problem in general is the liability of Internet Service Providers has not been clearly established and the enforcement of the law remains a problem. In this issue the stringency of traditional copyright laws are inherently difficult to be applicable to this new technology because of the scale of the Internet.
