Two solutions,but first....

Bundle of rights

Automatic(no © required)

Limits users ability to copy, distribute, perform, adapt

*applies online*

What Is the Purpose of Copyright?

To Expand the Commons

Statute of Anne, 1710: “For the encouragement of

USA Constitution:“To promote the progress of

=A vibrant culture

However...

Copyright the opportunities and problems of print culture

“Caxton Showing the First Specimen of His Printing to King Edward IV at the Almonry, Westminster,” by Daniel Maclise, 1851.

1710

Statute of Anne
