Excerpt from Literary Copyright: Seven Letters Addressed by Permission to the Right Hon. The Earl Stanhope, D. C. L., LL. D., F. R. S
It is, perhaps, sufficient for the Legislature to answer, that no man need write books unless he pleases My remarks, as the title of this little book implies, strictly confined to literary copyright, and there fore leave untouched the numerous and glaring defects in our laws affecting property in Music and the Fine Arts. Some of the views I have brought forward are, I believe, new; all are certainly portant both to the interests of authors, and those of the public. I sincerely hope that the present pub lication may contribute something to the formation of Opinion on the subject, and aid, in however slight a degree, in promoting the consolidation and im provement of English Copyright Law. J. C. H. Piccadilly, October, 1871. Postscript. - These letters were prepared for the press in May, 1870. The absorbing interest of the.

Excerpt from Literary Copyright: Seven Letters Addressed by Permission to the Right Hon. The Earl Stanhope, D. C. L., LL. D., F. R. S
The following letters make no pretension to the character of a treatise upon copyright. They are merely designed to indicate some of the most prominent of the defects of our system, with suggestions for improvement; keeping in sight the principles which should be the test of every proposed reform of the law. If any one should think that in my first letter I have taken too narrow a view of author's rights, I would only ask him in fairness, to read my little book.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution and foundations of literary copyright law. It argues that the principles shaping current copyright laws did not fully crystallize until the 19th century and first emerged as a response to the widespread piracy of published works. The author discusses the idea that copyright should be absolute and unlimited and why such a view was ultimately rejected even by the most ardent supporters of copyright law. He examines international copyright law, the shortcomings of retrospective application of copyright law to works published earlier, and areas in which the law has declined to confer copyright due to the nature of specific works. Through these arguments the book highlights the tension between authorsâ rights and public access to published material.
