Activity run in ENGLISH

On July 1 this year, the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement came into force.  For Canada, it has meant that the basic term of protection of copyright works would become “author’s life + 70”. This is the basic term of protection in the United States while Mexico’s basic term is “author’s life + 100”. Yet, a special provision allows Canada to keep its basic term of protection of “author’s life + 50” for an extra period of 2 ½ years.  How are these differences experienced on a day to day basis?  Please join three practitioners from the three countries in a discussion moderated by a professor from Columbia, a country where it is possible for an author to give up his or her copyright.
