Yeah, now we don't have to tell everyone who talks about copyright that Canada is the odd duck out. It will save us a lot of typing.

I thin that still leaves musicians shafted as work for hire, but it's a start.

I've never had the problem with unpaid shoots. I don't shoot til my MUA is done applying. She don't apply til my release is signed. In my release, a move that states specifically that I retain copyright ownership. Retail, don't care really. However, I've yet to do a commercial gig where it mattered.

Depending, of course, on how they now also intend to treat legacy [photographic] work. The devil is always in the details.
