Produced by Wallace McLean, Melissa Er-Raqabi and the PG Distributed Proofreaders "The Copyright Question: A Letter to the Toronto Board of Trade" by George N. Morang is a significant legal and economic discussion published in the early 20th century. This document is a critical examination of copyright laws as they pertain to Canadian authors and publishers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It addresses the complexities of copyright legislation and its implications for the publishing industry in Canada, as well as the relationships between Canadian and British copyright policies. In this letter, Morang argues against the proposed resolution by the Toronto Board of Trade that seeks to implement specific restrictions on the acquisition of Canadian copyright. He emphasizes that under existing British copyright laws, Canadian authors and publishers possess rights equivalent to their British counterparts, thereby granting them substantial protection and freedom in their publishing endeavors. Morang outlines the historical background of copyright legislation, including its evolution since 1847, the introduction of the Fisher Bill, and the existence of international agreements that support Canadian authors. He warns that any movement towards adopting a more localized copyright law could ultimately jeopardize these rights and return Canada to a state where its authors are vulnerable to piracy and exploitation. His advocacy for maintaining beneficial current laws reflects a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of global copyright systems and the potential risks of legislative changes.
