The first notion of a copy having value was in the 7th century, but the first time a right to copy was extended to the creator rather than the printer was with the Statute of Anne, in 1709. Prior to that, the "copy right" was based on a registration system managed by the Worshipful Company of Stationers, and was generally used for censorship more than anything else.
