Abstract
In the last couple of decades, given the growth in the digital market in particular, the types of RMI accompanying works have shown increased variety, and some would even say that RMI only became meaningful in the digital era. This paper addresses some of the technologies that are being used to attach RMI to works, especially works distributed in a digital format. It also looks at the potential RMI-related treaty obligations, and examines suggested and implemented legal protection for these rights in Canada.
