 In anticipation of amendments to Canada’s Copyright Act through Bill C-60, this paper asks whether provisions that would prohibit the circumvention of technical protection measures are “Copyrights”, and therefore the proper subject matter of federal copyright legislation. I show how these provisions in are arguably "paracopyrights" and may be in pith and substance a matter under the provincial authority over property and civil rights.
