Millar v Taylor
''Millar v Taylor'' (1769) 4 Burr. 2303, 98 ER 201 is an English court decision that held there is a perpetual common law copyright and that no works ever enter the public domain. It represented a major victory for the bookseller monopolies.
==Facts==
Andrew Millar was a bookseller who in 1729 had purchased the publishing rights to James Thomson's poem ''The Seasons''. After the term of the exclusive rights granted under the Statute of Anne expired, Robert Taylor began publishing his own competing publication, which contained Thomson's poem.
Following the restoration and reform of copyright law in 1710 (via the Statute of Anne) after its revocation in 1695, the practice of the English publishing monopolies had not changed much, even though the purpose of the new law was to break up the monopolies that had been created by the English Crown, which had served, in part, as a basis for the previous English Civil War. Despite the Statute of Anne's changes to the statutory law, the publishing monopolies continued to claim exclusive publishing rights under common law. Starting in the 1740s, London booksellers presented that argument in a series of court cases.
