JENNIFER LABELLE is an academic who published a paper in 2013 entitled Constructing Copyright in the Digital Age: The Case of Canada. JENNIFER LABELLE published this work as part of a team: Labelle, Jennifer. Here is a description of this work: Copyright protection is in a state of transition. The change brought about by the digital age has rendered the traditional model of copyright obsolete. Digitization and the Internet have altered the very nature of intellectual property, by allowing it to be non-rival, intangible, and easily accessible. Breakdowns in traditional intermediaries, the rise of user generated content, and Peer-to-Peer file sharing have played a profound role in reshaping how intellectual goods are created, used and distributed. These technological advances have brought to light a series of important policy questions about intellectual property rights in Canada and around the world. Bill C-11, a series of Supreme Court decisions in the summer of 2012, as well as movements in international law have sought to address these technological shifts. However, these actions are only the first step in.
