You conceeded the point because there is no way for him to be a liar unless there are two interpretations. |

If he claimed in his book that he is in favor of limited times for copyright, but claims in the article that he is for eternal copyright, then one of the claims must be a lie. The question is which was the lie, the claim in the book or the claim in the article? It has nothing to do with interpretations. |

Please read this again, with attention to the bold: Per Dr. Debora B. Schwartz (English Department, California Polytechnic State University): http://cla.calpoly.edu/~dschwart/engl339/problems.html Quote: Because there was no such thing as copyright in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, playwrights and theatrical troupes tried to keep their plays out of print. Without copyright protection, there was no compensation to a troupe and/or playwright if a rival troupe obtained a copy of and produced a play, thereby cutting into the original troupe's audience (and profits). For this reason (and because copying handwritten scripts was a long and tedious task), individual actors generally received only a copy of their individual lines and cues. Some of the quarto versions of Shakespeare's plays seem to have been pirated from a single actor's partial script, with other passages reconstructed from memory or invented. Do you see it now? They made fewer copies in order to prevent piracy. This is not a universal statement about how copyright impacts copying - it is a particular statement about how the dynamics of copying worked in Shakespearean theatres. Quote:

Perpetual copyright extending retroactively into perpetuity? Shakespeare probably wouldn't have even been taught how to read. Why bother when all your entertainment needs are provided for you by the big 6 players?
