The modern concept of copyright originated in England, in the year 1710, with the Statute of Anne. The current copyright law of the United Kingdom is to be found in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (the 1988 Act), as amended. This came into force on 1 August 1989, for the most part, save for some minor provisions Various amendments have been made to the original statute, mostly originating from European Union directives. ==Works eligible for protection== The types of work eligible for copyright protection include a literary, dramatic, artistic or musical work, the typographical arrangement of a published edition, a sound recording, a film, or a broadcast.〔Mayer Brown (2013). ("Copyright Guide" ). Advocates for International Development. Retrieved 19 September 2013.〕 Cinema films made before 1 June 1957, the date on which the Copyright Act 1956〔(Copyright Act 1956 )〕 came into force, are not protected as film. They are either protected as a dramatic work under the Copyright Act 1911 (the 1911 Act) or as a series of photographs. Wireless broadcasts prior to 1 June 1957 are not protected at all. The 1911 Act made no provision for them, as broadcasting had not been invented when the Act was passed. Broadcasts by cable prior to 1 January 1985 are not protected at all either. Both the Acts of 1911 and 1956 made no provision for broadcasts by cable, as they had not been defined and protected as either "works" or "broadcasts" of either Acts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Copyright law of the United Kingdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
