The Copyright Act of Canada confers exclusive rights to authors in order to protect them against any unauthorized use of their work. This protection applies even when a work is used for pedagogical purposes, although the law provides a certain amount of flexibility for educational institutions. Such exceptions, however, remove only a few of the constraints, and the school boards and teachers remain limited in their use of copyright-protected material.
