It dosn't apply anywhere, anymore. The thing is, it's clearly the first "modern" copyright law, and I was responding directly to the point about "the original point of Intellectual Property Rights" - as I said, it's very clearly enumerated in the Statute of Anne that it's to encourage learning!
Please do explain how this applies to creative media...
(I'm not referring to
anything except the "original intent" claim, and I'm just going to ignore side arguments, sorry)
