Copyright Laws of Argentina-(Liz Marroquin)
Argentina 's first copyright law was created all the way back in 1933. Today section 2 of this law gives copyright owners almost complete control over there work. After 70 years copyrighted work falls into public domain and Argentina is one of the few countries left to enforce a tax to users who wish to use works in public domain. The tax is a pretty big issue there and and back in 2012 the government tried to pass a bill where public libraries, archives, and museums would be exempt from the tax but were sadly met with strong opposition from collecting agencies and was not passed. They also have no fair use laws currently. Record labels there have always been allowed to be in charge of their own retailing and distribution of music. Since the explosion of the internet, however, illegal downloading has gone through the roof with 90% of Argentina 's online music transfers illegal.

There are a few minor differences between the two countries; one of the differences between the two countries is the time limit on how long a copyright lasts. The time limit for Canada for copyright is lifetime of the author plus 50 years compared to the United States which is lifetime of the author plus 70 years (Abramovitch, Caron, & Sartorio, 2013). Another difference between the two countries is the use of Fair Use; the Canadian version part of Copyright Law is that it is little bit more strict than United States (Abramovitch, Caron, & Sartorio, 2013). Also in the courts of Canada it was found that if inside the “computer programming that is dictated by the operating system or reflects common programing practices is not original expression and will not receive copyright protection” (Horne,
Details of copyright law vary between nation countries, however, many nations share a common interest through two international copyright treaty membership agreements, the Berne Convention (which consists of 164 member states) and the Buenos Aires Convention (which is an agreement between North and South American countries,) The treaties, established in order to protect an authors’/creators’ original work from copying - whether it be literary, dramatic, design, musical or artistic.

Overall, the judicial systems of Canada and the United States are very similar. Both have courts for appeals and those for military, and, of course, the Supreme Court. Historically, Canada’s court system can be traced back to the United Kingdom, just as the United States can be along with how we have set up our government.
In conclusion, Canada was influenced throughout the 1920's by America, that by 1929 Canada became very similar to America in social trends, economics and produce. But has this stopped in modern day era? Canada continues to be heavily influenced by the amount of American products and media outpouring into Canada. Canada has made attempts throughout time to impede the onslaught of American invasion but American invasion is seen on a huge global scale. Hit movies, tv shows, products among others are generally based on American culture, views, or based within American domain. It is a reign yet to be stopped.
Canada and China are very different States and are run by very different forms of government. The basic underlying difference between the two governments is the location of sovereignty in the counties. In China it seems as though the people do play a large part in the government, but after studying it, it is evident that the power really rests with the Communist party and the dictatorship. While in Canada the people popularly elect their representatives who elect their Prime Minister.
Their values are similar in terms of government, diversity and human rights. In both countries, the governments are run democratically. The people of the country vote for their leader rather than the leader be appointed by themselves like a dictator. Both countries are civil with each other because both the people and the governments believe in democracy over communism or fascism. Therefore, we get along in a way that we have parallel views about how our countries are to be run in peace and equality. Also, Canada and the United States bond over the diverse populations we have and the cultural influences we have endorsed over the years. In Canada, more than 200 languages were reported in the 2011 Census of Population as a home language or mother tongue . Likewise, there are about 14 million households in the United States which English is not spoken as a first language . With this variety of languages and cultures, Canada and the USA share the same inclusive values and therefore develop a healthy relationship. Additionally, these two countries both believe that all human beings deserves rights and freedoms with no exclusions or exceptions. Of course there are some people within these countries who think the opposite of equality, however as a whole, both countries try to enforce human rights and freedoms. For
The culture of Canada refers to the shared values, attitudes, standards, and beliefs that are a representative of Canada and Canadians throughout Canada's history, its culture has been influenced by American culture because of a shared language, proximity, television and migration between the two countries. Overtime, Canadian-American relations have helped develop Canada’s identity during the years 1945-1982; thus introducing changing social norms , media and entertainment. In support of this, due to the United States being approximately 9.25 times larger in population and having the dominant cultural and economic influence it played a vital role in establishing Canada’s identity. With Canada being its neighbour, naturally, the United States would influence their way of life upon Canada. In other words,

As an international company operating in Canada, you’re well aware of the differences in rules. Payroll is most definitely not the same, and the business taxes you face are also quite different. There may be different regulations around the products or services you offer.
Copyright, in its first form, was first introduced in 1710 with a British statute of Anne. Since this time copyright laws have changed to remain current, and have grown into an international agreement by many countries around the globe.
The culture of Argentina reflects deeply upon the geography. Like all countries, Argentina’s culture is widely influenced by her immigrants. The immigrants consist vastly of European with Amerindian and African persuasion in their music and art. The capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, is a cultural melting pot filled with exotic traditions that are plainly evident throughout today’s Argentinean society.
North, South, East, West and Central- there are definite qualities that detach Prairie from Maritimes, Ontario from Quebec and the Territories from the British Columbia. Each of these regions are separated by how they live, and their different culture background. Which forms our own identites within the counrty. Canadian and American government also show difference in how they govern themselves. United States is a country of one basic language. It has one main language, for its federal government and for every state. Canada is a country of two basic languages, French and English. A second basic difference between our Constitution and the American is that we are a constitutional monarchy and they are republics. For we have a parliamentary-cabinet government, while the Americans have a presidential-congressional. This means that the president is the head of the state and head of the government. While in Canada the Governor General is head of the provinces and the Prime Minister is the head of the government. Parliamentary-cabinet government is based on a concentration of powers. The Prime Minister must by custom be a member of one House or the other, or get a seat in the House. In the United States, the President and every other member of both houses are e...
