The history of copyright starts with early privileges and monopolies granted to printers of books. The British Statute of Anne 1710,full title "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning,by vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or purchasers of such Copies,during the Times therein mentioned",was the first copyright statute. Initially copyright law only applied to the copying of books. Over time other uses such as translations and derivative works were made subject to copyright and copyright now covers a wide range of works,including maps,performances,paintings,photographs,sound recordings,motion pictures and computer programs.
