As some of you may know Canadian law has differed from most countries in that, absent a contract to the contrary, copyright is held by default by the client contracting the photography rather than the photographer.

But does anyone know if this has changed in the last 6 months ? I'd like to update my contract, and I can't quite find 1) whether or not it has changed and 2) what the exact provision is.

thanks !

I know that there was a proposed change but I can't say what stage it was/is at.

Nothing changed that I can see - Section 13 http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng​/acts/C-42/page-8.html#h-7 (external link)

You can now register copyright with CIPO, which I believe is recent since end if 2011.
