Re: copy rights

‘Copyright’ is the term we use for the bundle of
exclusive rights which the laws of most countries confer on authors to exploit the works
which they create.
 When we say someone has an exclusive right to do something, we mean that no
one else can lawfully do it without the permission of the holder of the right.
The simplest and oldest of these exclusive rights is the right of the author of a book to
print copies of it. This was the right conferred by the first copyright law, which was
enacted in the U.K. in 1709 and is commonly known as the ‘Queen Anne’s Statute’. In
course of time, the bundle of authors’ exclusive rights has widened vastly, covering a
variety of activities in respect of a variety of works.
