n Canada, copyright subsists in every original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, in a performer' performance and sound recordings(Copyright Act, RSC 1985, c C-42, s 5(1), 15(1), 18(1)). While the Canadian Copyright Act does not identify video games as a specific type of work and the courts have not directly stated what type of "work" video games fall under, the courts have recognized that video games are protected under copyright. Not only is the video game as a whole protected, but elements of a video game may also be considered works that are entitled to distinct copyright protection — for example, source code, script/dialogue, musical works and sound recordings, voice acting, character design and level design.
