Abstract

This article examines the rise of the English copyright system, which dates back to the Statute of Anne, considered to be the first copyright law. For such purpose, it is used a descriptive and deductive methodology, fundamentally based on a bibliographical review and on the investigation of the legislation and of the precedents. The work starts from the invention of the press, going through the period of the granting of privileges, until the enactment of the Statute of Queen Anne. It also examines the creation of the company of stationers of London, the issue of the Licensing Act of 1662 and the dispute between booksellers in Scotland and England. The results obtained indicate that the Statute of Queen Anne did not have as its main objective the protection of authors, but such protection was eventually admitted as a reflection of judicial decisions.
