| 文件简介： | Copyright Law In China 周林 I. A general idea of China Copyright Law It is said that copyrighting is the child of the printing press. Thus, perhaps it is the great, German inventor, Gutenberg, who can be considered its father. As most Germans should recall, it was Gutenberg's printing press, in 1450, which made it possible for large volumes of literary work to be reproduced in Europe. An estimate at the time of Gutenberg claims that in Continental Europe there existed 30,000 volumes of literary works. By the end of 1500, there were 300 printing presses, not in Europe, but in Venice alone. Moreover, the number of books had increased 500 times, from 30,000 to 15 million. It is believed that copyright law actually developed in Venice around 1500 as a set of monopolies or patents. One early example is that of Ludovico Ariosto, who was granted the exclusive lifetime right to print his famous novel Orlando Furioso. It was from these early laws in Venice that sprung up the very first official copyright law in England, commonly known as the Act of Anne. While Europe may stake claim to the first printing press, the technology that allowed it to come about -- movable-letter-printing -- was actually invented in China by Mr. Bi Sheng more than 400 years prior, in 1041. Just as Gutenberg's press lead to certain copyright laws, Bi Sheng's technology lead to the formation of a stamp that was placed on the cover of books. The stamp, first appearing between the years 1190 to 1194 would read: this book was published and distributed by the Cheng Family of Meishan, any reproduction without permission is forbidden. (2)The notice is strikingly similar to the modern copyright notice – "All rights reserved". Thus, it is quite obvious that as early as 800 years ago China had some definitive notions regarding the idea of copyright, or, intellectual property. The question might be raised, then: why has there been no copyright law in China for such a long time? |
