Gould Estate v Stoddart Publishing Co Ltd (1998), 39 OR 555 (Ont CA), is a Canadian case on appropriation of personality, the ownership of copyright, and requirements of fixation.

During 1956, Jock Carroll interviewed a young Glenn Gould for an article in Weekend Magazine.

Carroll documented much of the encounter, he took pictures of Gould, wrote notes and took an audio recording of the interview.

[2] The book contained 70 photographs from the 1956 interview, as well a narrative that was largely based on the 1956 notes and recording, including many quotations by Gould.

The court held that the oral statements of Gould could not be protected by copyright because there was not fixation.
