I have believed it was the right of authors to own their creative works, but now begin to wonder if my beliefs have been moulded by current copyright law.
Take this quote, used in the History of Copyright section of the #OCL4Ed course:
Forté explains: “Copyright isn't on a par with the right to life, liberty, fraternity and equality before the law. It's a privilege extended to us by our fellow citizens because they recognise the value they get out of our efforts.”
Forté, B. (2000, June 15). The Statute of Queen Anne. Retrieved 1 September 2004.
I realise as I go through this section of the course that I've held a lot of misconceptions about copyright.
