Hello,
I'm wondering how other Canadian Hosting Providers handle copyright and
trademark complaints about customers on their network. I'm thinking of
just handling them the same as a DMCA notification should be handled but
since there's no forced takedown provisions in the Canadian copyright act
(that I know of?) it's difficult to say what is better. I'd kind of like
if our customers could enjoy some freedom from the sledgehammer of the DMCA
*but* still being subject to copyright and trademark infringement laws of
course. I have to admit - this is my ignorance. I'm quite familiar with
the DMCA and the litigation that usually ensues during american trademark
infringement already but not Canadian copyright laws or trademark laws.
I do intend to consult with a real lawyer about this eventually but I want
to have intelligent questions or suggestions before that happens.
Also how are trademark infringement issues handled differently than
copyright issues in Canada?
