Ontario, Canada: What rights do translator’s hold over their work? Can, for example, a purchaser of a translation resell or distribute it at will, by any means for any length of time? The question is partially raised by a recent decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal:
“In Robertson v. Thomson Corporation, the Ontario Court of Appeal has considered the right of a freelance author, who had contributed articles to a newspaper, to restrain publication of her articles in electronic archiving and search databases and CD-ROMs. The Court held that, subject to any applicable defences, the reproduction of the freelance author’s articles in these electronic databases without her authorization infringed her copyright in the articles”.
