Talking Copyright: Its History and Today. Do you need it, do you want it, do you have it already?

I know copyright doesn't sound like and interesting topic for a podcast. But there is more than meets the eye in terms of history where copyright is concerned. Plus you get to hear me do my best British accent.

For more info about copyright and its implications, check out these resources.

Wikipedia has, at least as of this recording, a pretty good page on the issue.

The U.S. Copyright office has an excellent page dedicated to the history as it pertains to U.S. law. You can also find the current version of Title 17, which I reference in the show.

This is the site where you can see The Treaty of Anne. It is worth reading if you really want to see where we get some of our legal concepts of what copyright should look like.
