Access Copyright | Canadian copyright licensing agency that provides access to copyrighted works for contract terms in exchange for fair compensation to the copyright holder. |
Copyright | the legal framework within which creators of works - including films, books, sound recordings, information products and computer programs - are entitled to control and to receive payment for the use of their works |

Trade Marks | A trade-mark is a word (or words), a design, or a combination of these, used to identify the goods or services of one person or organization. |
Public Domain | Works in the public domain are those whose intellectual property rights have expired, have been forfeited, or are inapplicable |
