Posted by the 1709 Blog: In 1709 the Statute of Anne created the first purpose-built copyright law. This blog, founded just 300 short and unextended years later, is dedicated to all things copyright, warts and all.
If the area of copyright is of interest, you'll certainly find useful information here.
