Reprinted,

and Published Books, and other Writings, without the Consent of the Authors

or Proprietors of such Books and Writings,

For Preventing therefore such Practices for the future, and for the

Encouragement of Learned Men to Compose and Write useful Books;

May it please Your Majesty, that it may be Enacted ...

Where does this leave us?

• Content creation, payment, copyright protection?

• Broad legislation to protect the creator

• “Work of authorship” = “a fixed original expression in a

tangible form”
