Talk:History of copyright

Purpose of this page

Question - is this page dedicated solely to the international history of copyright? I wouldn't mind seeing a discussion of the various major copyright revisions in american history: 1790, 1831, 1870, 1909, 1976, 1998 (Sony Bono)

Note: A fairly accurate and complete discussion of the subject can be found at http://www.arl.org/info/frn/copy/timeline.html

I think that statutory revisions (and case law) in specific countries should only be included if they've turned out to be internationally significant. I guess this could be said of many recent developments in US copyright. Perhaps the story of the parochial pre-Berne, pre-globalisation US system should have its own section in this article (or its own article, if it gets to big) ? -- Pde 23:39, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)


Old Eastern Bloc C'Rights?

I am just wondering out of curoristy...Whatever happened to copyrights that were held by the USSR, SFRY, Czechoslovakia, and the GDR? Thanks! - iHoshie 04:12, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

First of all, I think this belongs on the Reference Desk. Second of all, they all probably went to heck (who would seriously care about taking over the records -- especially if you're a communist), but don't take me as an expert. Ilyanep (Talk) 05:10, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
You're right. I posted this in the wrong place. Mea Culpa. - iHoshie 06:18, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I don't believe they had copyright laws, actually. Intellectual property wasn't protected. That's one of the reasons why the ex-communist countries were and are such a hotbed of piracy - the culture all along the line was one of free copying by the state or citizens. -- ChrisO 15:33, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
They had copyright laws, but they were a different set, which was why many English songs were pirated. Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 16:28, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
We have an empty section copyright and communism in the history of copyright article, care to add your knowledge there? Andrewa 06:14, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
