The Statute of Anne, enacted in 1710 during the reign of Queen Anne, is a foundational legal document in copyright law in Great Britain. It establishes the rights of authors and publishers over their printed works, addressing issues of reproduction and consent. This statute marks a significant shift towards protecting the interests of creators, outlining registration requirements and penalties for infringement, and reflects early efforts to balance commercial interests with literary protection.
