	Law of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The laws of evidence regulate the admissibility of evidence in courts and tribunals.

	Copyright Law Canada
		In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously held that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) cannot be held liable for violations of copyright law committed by their subscribers.
		Knowledge of potential infringements by subscribers does not make the ISP liable for authorizing the infringement because ISPs are entitled to presume that their facilities will be used in accordance with the law, and ISPs do not grant licenses or permission to subscribers that permit infringement.
		This decision is in line with international trends in Internet copyright law, and a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that found that the Law Society of Upper Canada could not be found to authorize copyright infringement by providing photocopying machines which could be used to infringe copyright.

		The valid registration of a trademark in Canada in respect of any wares or services gives to the owner of the trademark registration the exclusive right to the use throughout Canada of the trademark in respect of those wares or services.

		Unregistered trademarks are also entitled to protection in Canada, although the extent and scope of protection provided to unregistered trademarks will depend of factors such as the extent to which, and the manner in which the trademark has been used and has become known.

	Nathan's Updates from Seoul: Sharia Law in Canada
		Granted, the presence of Sharia law in Canada is not a blow (yet) to our criminal justice system, as this body of law, with its quasi-judicial, government-recognized tribunal system has been set up to deal with disputes in family law.
		Several months ago, the President of a large Canadian Islamic organization said that those who rejected the Islamic tribunals rulings should be considered "blasphemers and apostates"; in other words, he used the strongest language possible, language used to justify execution.
		It is time to end the practice of allowing religious tribunals to settle matters of family law.

		As such, it is the position of this essay that Canadian accessibility laws apply equally to the internet and that internet services should be just as accessible and barrier free to the disabled as the law currently requires of bricks and mortar services.
