15. What is copyright?
A: Copyright is also referred to as a version record or version description. It is the publisher who introduces the history of a book. Copyright facilitates the reader to understand the publication of the book, etc., and is usually printed on the back of the backing sheet or on the bottom page of the entire book or the bottom of the seal. Copyright is the publisher's right to dispose of the works it enjoys. It has titles such as title, author, publisher, printer, distributor, specifications, number of times, number of prints, number of words, and pricing.
History of copyright development
Copyright is a legal term used to describe a creator’s rights for his literary and artistic works.
Copyright is the legal ownership of the right to reproduce computer programs, literary works, musical compositions, photographs, movies, etc. Unless transferred to another party, copyright is usually considered to belong to the author. Most computer programs are protected not only by copyright but also by software licenses. Copyright only protects the expression of ideas, but does not protect the ideas themselves. The design of algorithms, mathematical methods, techniques or machines is not covered by copyright protection. [1]

The author has certain special rights in the literary, artistic, and scientific works he creates, also known as copyright. Others may not publish or make changes without their consent.
Lu Xun's "Letters to Hu Jinxiu": "But not only are they adapted, they can't be said to be infringement of copyright." From the perspective of etymology, copyright not only represents the right of reproduction, but also expresses the works themselves and their carriers. Ownership and control are sometimes used interchangeably with literary and artistic property rights. The French equivalent of the English copyright term is droit d'auteur, German is Urheberrecht, and Spanish is derecho de autor. These terms directly indicate the beneficiaries of the rights, and translated into Chinese as "author's rights." In order to protect the author’s legitimate rights and interests in the creation of works, to coordinate the creators, communicators, and the general public’s legal relations arising from the dissemination and use of the works, encourage authors to create, promote the dissemination of works, and develop scientific and cultural undertakings. More than 150 countries and regions have established copyright systems.

Original concept
Before the invention of printing, the dissemination of literary, artistic, and scientific works relied mainly on copying and transcripts were sold on the market as commodities, which were rare at the time. Typography, especially after the invention of movable type printing in the 1840s, was able to produce multiple copies of a work for sale. A copy of the work's carrier—the book became a commodity for which the printer sought profit. In order to monopolize the printing and sales of certain works, the printer sent the work to be printed to the government for review and requested permission to operate exclusively. During the Shaoxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1190-1194), a book written by Wang Chong of Meizhou, Sichuan province, wrote "The Eastern Capital of Things". On the catalogue page, there was a statement of "The Meishan Chengshe People's Home Publishing Line has applied for the superintendent's approval." In Europe, in the middle of the 15th century AD, after the German J. Gutenberg invented metal type printing, in 1469 the Republic of Venice granted the privilege of the book vendor Giovanni Daspila to print books for 5 years. The feudal emperors and local officials discovered that by reviewing the works to be printed, the transmission of new ideas could be prohibited. In 1556 Queen Mary I of England approved the London printers to establish a bookseller company, and granted monopoly rights to the books published by the company’s members, but at the same time Books must be sent to the royal review and registered with the company before being printed. Without registration, unauthorized printing, punished by the Royal Star Court. The government granted the printers a monopoly over the copyright of certain works, or ordered the reprint of works already published by others, which marked the formation of the concept of original copyright. This kind of original copyright system only benefits the ruler and the printer. It has nothing to do with the creators of the work. It is actually a kind of original news check that restricts freedom of speech and publication.
Modern concept
The original copyright regime lasted more than 700 years in China and lasted more than 200 years in Europe. In the second half of the 17th century, under the impact of the new philosophies such as the "philosophy of life" and "inviolability of private property" proposed by the British philosophers J. Milton and J. Locke, the royal feudal monopoly dominated by the royal family. The system started to shake. After the bourgeois revolution, the parliamentary system representing the interests of the new aristocracy and the bourgeoisie replaced the monarchy authorized by the monarchy, and the royal monopoly power granted to the printer was abolished. In the United Kingdom, after the royal family granted the printing privilege to the booksellers, the booksellers and printers cited the theory of literary property as requiring certain forms of legal protection for their printed books. On January 11, 1709, the House of Commons proposed a motion requiring the printing and distribution rights of books to be granted to the authors or buyers of the manuscripts within a certain period of time. This proposal became the Queen Anne Act of April 10, 1710. . The ordinance stipulates that any book that has already been published shall have the right to reprint the book within 21 years from the date of entry into force of the decree; for unpublished books, the author shall enjoy the copyright for 28 years. The "Annie Act" is the first copyright law in the world. It abolishes the feudal monopoly system whereby the royal family issues a printing license to book sellers. It acknowledges that authors have the right to control and process their own works, making them the subject of copyright and a sign of modern copyright. The formation of concepts. At the end of the 18th century, the French bourgeois revolution won, and the slogan of “natural human rights” instilled new content into copyright – the work is an extension of the author’s personality, and the author enjoys the moral rights of defending his personality in his works. The French copyright law of 1791 and 1793, which acknowledged that the author enjoyed both economic and spiritual rights, enriched and developed the concept of modern copyright.

There are two ways to obtain copyright: automatic acquisition and registration. In China, according to the Copyright Law, the completion of works is automatically copyrighted. The so-called completion is relatively speaking, as long as the object of creation has met the statutory composition of works, it can be protected as a work by the copyright law. In theory, copyright can be divided into copyright and neighboring rights according to different nature. In simple terms, copyright is for people with original related spiritual products, and the concept of neighboring rights is for participants of related industries who perform or assist in the transmission of works, such as performers, producers of audio and video products. , radio and television stations, publishing houses, and so on.
