Letters on International Copyright; Second Edition

Letters on International Copyright, written by Henry Charles Carey in the late 19th century, critically examines copyright laws and their implications for authors and the public. Carey argues that existing systems favor established authors and publishers, often at the expense of consumers and lesser-known creators. He advocates for a more equitable approach to copyright that prioritizes accessible literature and collective ownership of ideas. The book highlights the contentious debate surrounding international copyright treaties and critiques the influence of powerful publishers on legislation.
