INTRODUCTION
U.S. copyright law grew out of English Common Law and statutory
law. When the printing press was developed in the fifteenth century,
rights for the reproduction of written works extended to printers rather
than to authors. In England, a printers' guild, the Stationers' Company,
claimed for itself the exclusive rightin effect, a monopolyon
written works. It was not until 1710 that Parliament passed a statute
relating to copyright. That law, called the Statute of Anne, established
authors' rights to control the reproduction of their work after it was
published. It also created a term of protection of 28 years from the
date of publication. After that time, an author's work entered the
public domain, meaning that anyone could print or distribute it
without obtaining the author's permission or paying a royalty, or fee,
to the author. Other European countries developed similar laws in the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
COPYRIGHT
patents, and trademarks are all examples of what is known in the law
as Intellectual Property.
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
Copyright infringement occurs when someone other than the
copyright holder copies the expression of a work. This means
that the idea or information behind the work is not protected, but
how the idea is expressed is protected. For example, there have
been many movies about Pirates, but only one Jack Sparrow.
Copyright infringement can occur even if someone does not copy a
work exactly. This example of copyright infringement is most
easily apparent in music and art. Copyright infringement occurs if
the infringing work is substantially similar to the copyrighted
work.
The Public Display Right. This is the right to show a copy of the
work directly to the public by hanging up a copy of the work in a
public place, displaying it on a website, putting it on film or
transmitting it to the public in any other way. Copyright
infringement occurs here if the someone other than the copyright
holder offers a work for public display.
