I've found this discussion of Canadian law on the subject, written by a lawyer specialising in the subject: http://www.entertainmentmedialawsignal.com/2011/02/articles/copyright/question-and-answer-who-owns-the-copyright-in-an-interview/ English and Welsh law isn't identical to Canadian law, by any means, but it does have a lot in common with it. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
