In response, others have contended that copyright has always been understood as a property right. An examination of eighteenth-century sources shows that the conception of copyright as a form of property was neither the only, nor even the dominant, paradigm in circulation at the time. Moreover, when studying these sources, we must ask who is using the language of property: judges, members of the bookselling industry and their lawyers, writers and their counsel, or some combination of these? Building on earlier work that traces some aspects of the property framework as it developed in eighteenth-century British jurisprudence, I show how members of the publishing industry were able to convert the liability rule furnished by the Statute of Anne into a property rule. Next, shifting the focus to contemporaneous writers, I show that they were far cagier about the language of property than were their colleagues in the bookselling industry, sometimes adopting this language equivocally, sometimes repudiating it emphatically. Finally, looking at eighteenth-century literary culture more generally, I note that accusations of plagiarism and the convention of the “found manuscript”--both of which would seem (to modern eyes) to be redolent with concerns about property--were rarely if ever couched in these terms. I conclude that discovering the word “property” in eighteenth-century discussions of copyright marks the beginning, not the end, of an inquiry into its significance at this time.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-specialization field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Subject areas:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/legal-specialization/intellectual-property" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Intellectual Property Law</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/legal-specialization/law-and-literature" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Law and Literature</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/legal-specialization/legal-history" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Legal History</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/legal-specialization/property-law" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Property Law</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-focus-area field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Focus area:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/focus-area/innovation-law" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Innovation Law</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/focus-area/law-and-economics" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Law and Economics</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/focus-area/law-and-literature" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Law and Literature</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/focus-area/law-and-philosophy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Law and Philosophy</a></div></div></div><div class="easy_social_box clearfix vertical easy_social_lang_und"> <div class="easy_social-widget easy_social-widget-linkedin first"><script type="in/share" data-url="https://www.law.utoronto.ca/scholarship-publications/faculty-scholarship/publications/copyright-property-right-authorial" data-counter=""></script></div> <div class="easy_social-widget easy_social-widget-facebook_share"> <div style="height: 19px; width: 52px; border: 1px solid rgb(187,187,187); background-color: rgb(239,239,239); border-radius: 3px; padding: 0px 2px;"> <a type="button" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.law.utoronto.ca%2Fscholarship-publications%2Ffaculty-scholarship%2Fpublications%2Fcopyright-property-right-authorial" target="_blank" style="color: #000; padding: 2px 2px 2px 18px; color: rgb(51,51,51); font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; text-shadow: rgb(255,255,255) -1px 1px 0px; background: url(http://w.sharethis.com/images/facebook_16.png) no-repeat;">Share</a> </div></div> <div class="easy_social-widget easy_social-widget-twitter last"><a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-url="https://www.law.utoronto.ca/scholarship-publications/faculty-scholarship/publications/copyright-property-right-authorial" data-count="none" data-lang = "en" data-via="UTLaw" data-related=":Check it out!" data-text="Copyright as a Property Right?
